Fusion

A feature of the Everglades garden is the fusion of romantic formal European elements with the original Australian bush landscape and dramatic Blue Mountains views.

Water babbles along a tiny rocky watercourse to a duck pond crossed by a wooden arch. Ducks dip and play in the cool water that tumbles to a fern lined grotto below, a place of fantasy and delight.

Words to walk with:
From The Public Garden by Robert Lowell
“From the arched bridge, we see
The shedding park-bound mallards, how they keep
Circling and diving in the lanternlight,
Searching for something hidden in the muck.”
