Marni’s lakeside garden in New York, Day 1

Today ’s photo are from Marni LaRose - Karen in New York state . She says,“Our home is on Mahopac Point – a peninsula on Lake Mahopac located just off of Route 6N in Mahopac , New York . Our plate sits at the peak of the peninsula and is surround by water on three sides . We have a privileged view of every sunrise and sunset over the lake daily .

“ My married man bought the property 35 eld ago . Back then the property , which had a bombastic number of towering oak tree and beech trees , hosted a small weatherboard house with a rather unwitting naturalscape and minimal foundation planting . We began metamorphose the gardens as our house and theater expand in 1990 .

“ The architect who redesigned the house , Jeffrey M. White , designed the landscape painting to accommodate the expanded construction step . The initial gardens were installed by Young ’s Nurseries in Wilton , Connecticut . The garden and the landscape painting figure have develop significantly over the eld , as trees were remove and a lakeshore pool added . I have taken over the gardens since their initial inception and have had a lot of time to take and to refine the landscape with the assistance of a knowledgable friend who accompany me in the garden for days .

“ I take myself a individual soul and have never print exposure of the landscape before . However , our home is now for sale so my secret possession of this garden may soon add up to a close .

“ I am an avid garden lensman . Though I am well travel , The New York Botanical Garden remains one of my favorite gardens in the world . I photograph it several times a year . I observe it always has something different to offer up , as does my own garden . ”

What a gorgeous touch and garden , Marni ! I bode it will betray quickly , if it has n’t already , and that you ’ll miss it terribly . But mean of all the chance to produce a new garden wherever you end up ! Thanks for sharing this with us .

- - Marni is such an incredible photographer that I ca n’t seem to narrow down the 40 + photos she institutionalize to just 12 . So tomorrow I ’ll feature 12 more , all close - ups of her gorgeous flowers . Stay tuned ! * * *
