garden, glass squares

Jardin publique

To be found at the end of the bridge. I thought the blue glass squares were novel, an instance of French flair.

  2. Very interesting - not that I understand the purpose of the glass squares: embellishment? stepping stones? Some kind of modular beds? They look really nice.

  7. Very interesting garden. Like the blue accentuation. The plant on the left side looks like a jade plant. Wonderful habit!

  8. It looks like a grand pond in the rear garden of a country estate. I love the blue glass gives it a lovely setting.

  10. Thanks for all the comments. I should, perhaps, have pointed out that the same clour of blue was used for fixtures throughout the little garden — for the benches, fences and gates. It was quite eye-catching. Walking by, I just had to stop and take a closer look.

    clo: C'est vrai, c'est comme le ciel. Les reflections du ciel exagère cette impression.

    Martina: I think it is pure embellishment.

    Joan Elizabeth: Yes, the glass squares were new to me. However, I am not a real garden aficionado and was wondering if they might be as clichéd as garden gnomes. From the comments here, I see they were new to others.

    Cerstin: Der Garten war insgesamt schön. Er befindet sich neben dem Saargemünder Casino am Ende der Fußgängerbrücke.

    JM: Sim, e lindo!

    Don and Krise: My garden knowledge is limited, but the purplish plants certainly look succulent.

    Buenos Aires Photoblog: I liked the blue, too.

    BlossomFlowerGirl: To some extent, that is what it looks like. It is close to a grand house that is now a casino and restaurant. It could have started life as the private gardens of that house.

    ical: Thanks. I wonder what style of gardens you have over in Indonesia.
