A huge sculpture by Buckminster Fuller frames views of the surrounding garden in honeycomb.

These white tassels hanging from trees by the house glowed in the late January sun and reminded me of one of the golden rules of garden design: Go all the way! One tassel in a tree looks silly. Scores of them, as here, looks intentional and beautiful.

The path through the Red Garden is wider at the top, and narrows at the end, and the red posts get a little bit shorter as they go down the path. The result is a false sense of perspective that makes this view look much longer than it actually is. Not a bad idea to steal for a home garden!

A sculpture inspired by the Brooklyn Bridge, with the sun setting through the mass of bamboo at is back.

This garden believes in reusing waste. Soil from excavating a pond was used to create dramatic dunes and hills, and here pruning from the many stands of bamboo on the property are used to create a lovely pagoda under towering trees.
