This blossom tree garden by the pond tapestry puts a blossoming tree at the heart of a garden, with trees on either side, flowers crowding the foreground and birds at the edge of a small pond.

Hanging it
Over a sofa, a bed or a sideboard, the garden can stretch almost the full width of the furniture. It comes without a sleeve or rod pocket. Stitch hook-and-loop tape along the top and mount its mate on a wooden batten. A clip rail is an easy alternative; a tailor can also add a rod casing.
A garden composed on the loom
There is no drawing behind this garden tapestry: the trees, the flowers and the pond are woven freehand. Plant-dyed wool gives the blossom and leaves their soft shifts of tone.
