Lush Annex


I love the entrance to this large home in the Annex area - every spare inch of the property has lovely plantings resulting in this lush, inviting scene. Even on a hot day like this (30˚C) it is refreshing!

    I love those trees, it's as if you had draped the greenery on it like you would icicles on a Christmas tree,,,M

    I suspect that the people who can own this property can afford a gardener! :)

    What a gorgeous entrance Red and you are right greenery does make such a difference as to how hot you feel even if it's just a physiological thing!!

    Lovely garden but that ivy can do a lot of damage to the brickwork!

    The Annex is north of Bloor to Dupont, from Avenue Rd to Bathurst - basically just north of U of T.
    This house was built in 1906.

    There's a lot of hard labour behind that end product, that's for sure!
