The Beauty of Fences

 

HometoCottage.com The Beauty of FencesI love a good fence. (even a so-so fence can appeal to me) New England has so wonderful examples of great fences that I just have to share some with you. Instead of filling this post up with my words, I’d thought I’d mix it up a bit, so along with the pictures I took showing you the beauty of fences, (mostly from the Kennebunks) I’m including quotes about ‘fences’ from some well known folks…

I’ve seen some stone masons making new rock fences and walls around Kennebunkport, talk about true craftsmen. Amazing work.

Here’s one that’s hard to see, but…

isn’t it so beautiful? It’s a mixture of a stone pillar, with a low stone fence and a hedge and gorgeous plantings.

Inspiring, aren’t they? The beauty of fences are they serve a purpose, they keep things in and out, they define the space in the garden or yard, but also they can offer such a lovely visual treat.
