Rightness

"Pan Playing", The Appleby, Augusta, GA, 2010

Garden ornament cannot be underestimated---it could be considered just as important as the garden itself. Especially when it is fabulously aged and tinged with Time. In some cases it is the reason behind the garden, as in Beverley Nichols' book The Gift of a Home:

     At each end of the lovely little wall there were two brick pillars. They stood there, perfectly poised, exactly the right height, exactly the right width....They had obviously been built to hold something---carved pineapples, or stone balls, or...or...or Urns.

   It was when the word
Urns
 came into my head that the garden was
 born.
