carex: garden design by carolyn mullet

I design & build gardens and this blog is about all things landscape and garden that can influence garden making. My bias is toward the clean, straight forward, and spare but I can be seduced as much as anyone by the sensuality of nature. However, what I post will be about more than the pretty, precious, and nostalgic. We'll see how well I do. And "Carex"? It's a sedge frequently used in planting native gardens. I like it very much.

Nice space but a green pool? Well that’s a first for me but why not? The cushions are a bit too matchy matchy for my taste

Snorralaug is a pool in Iceland named after medieval historian and author Snorri Sturluson. The accounts describe a tunnel running from Sturluson’s farmhouse to the pool with archaeological findings dating it to 1818. The Snorralaug is fed by two underground conduits from the Skrifla hot springs and is constructed of pumice stone – highly porous, solidified lava.
