I found this while trespassing on a secret courtyard

(with subtitle) I visited a private courtyard at a 1870 Italianate house, so well hidden in the oldest part of the city, I couldn't help but felt like a trespasser. Through a narrow passageway, I was transported into a different world - I found a secret outdoor living space, filled with exquisite garden art, colorful blossoms and a few surprises. This is the garden of Elizabeth Licata and Alan Bigelow, featured on Garden Walk Buffalo and Open Gardens.

I am Jay, I ask strangers if I can see their gardens. New video on Fridays. This video is part of the " Can I see your garden? " series:

Very nice little garden. I love the fact that each house owner takes care the side walk to make the streets as the neighborhood prettier and friendlier!

@WhispersInTheGarden 4 месяца назад

Thank you. I love it because it also builds a sense of community, in addition to the beautification!

Well, I'm pretty sure, by city law, you have to maintain the easement. Their's is beautiful.

@buds8423 3 месяца назад

I wish, when beautifying the roadway/sidewalk, All people would at least respect it if they can’t appreciate it. It is a Peony. Not a Pee on Me! Ask -most gardeners will share a cutting if the plant is well established( and even give propagation tips). Flowers and unusual foliage might look good in your vase, but they were meant for the whole neighborhood to enjoy… Do to this and pure theft and vandalism, I’m ready to take all my plants to the back yard again.

Shirley, I really appreciate it. English is my second language, sometime I struggle a little bit, but I am proud that I can communicate with more people this way. And people I met have always been very kind even if I said the wrong word or in the wrong way.

That's a great way to help beautification of the neighborhood, and hopefully it will catch on to the other neighborhood, the local news station should show this off and encourage others to create plants, trees and flowers to their streets and neighborhoods.

I lived on an alley with a fence that had a large peace rose that grew over it. I was in the kitchen one day and saw a couple walking down the alley. The women went up to the fence and I was wondering what she was doing. She then grabbed hold of one of the big fat roses hanging over on her side and took a deep whiff of the scent and had a smile on her face. This is what we gardeners love to see.

This lovely garden tour landed you a new sub! In the Upper Midwest, we call the space between the street and sidewalk, a boulevard garden. I love your poetic imagery as you walk through the couple's garden. Is the blue plant at 6:17 Johnson's Blue geranium? I love the artistic panels hiding the generator. How clever! I don't know why, but the owners, Elizabeth and Alan look very familiar to me. Has their inner city garden been showcased elsewhere? Thanks for the garden tour. Immensely enjoyed it!

@WhispersInTheGarden 3 месяца назад

Thank you! I don't think that is Johnson's Blue geranium in the pot, it might be some type of annuals. Elizabeth is a writer, and she is part of gardenrant.com/ . I think it is possible their garden was featured in magazines.
