Today Sue Hughes is sharing a friend ’s beautiful garden .

I ’d like to share the beautiful garden of my neighbor and friend Dana Kline . I spent the day in her garden with her and her dog Hadley and think it would be fun to share my photos of it with other gardener on Garden Photo of the Day ! Dana ’s garden is in the historical Schenley Farms locality in the Oakland incision of Pittsburgh ( Zone 6b ) . She started this garden in 2004 , and it ’s constantly changing with the seasons . These pic are what July looks like , and as you may imagine , spring , fall , and even winter each has its own seasonal highlights .

With Dana at the garden gate , a immense cornet vine ( Campsisradicans , Zones 4–9 ) arc overhead .

expect down the path into the garden , the great unwashed ofsmooth hydrangea(Hydrangeaarborescens , Zones 3–9 ) line the path to the right field . I love how lush and full the plantings are .

This view of the garden from the patio is perfectly framed by the stunning iron employment .

Potted geranium ( Pelargoniumhybrids , Zones 9–11 or as annuals ) rest on an architectural piece turned garden art .

The garden pool has beautiful smoothing iron work over it to keep out raccoons and pests .

Hadley the frump likes watch the fish and frogs safely on the other side of the Fe barrier .

Lush , brim over garden beds are ensnare by a neatly trim lawn andhedges .

An antique pedestal makes a centrepiece in the garden .

A beautiful rose render how the flowers alter in colour as they senesce .
