Garden One – A glorious perennial garden framed by old stone walls and embedded in a rich landscape.

This garden features a magnificent stone retaining wall, now the background for a dramatic perennial border interspersed with a selection of intentionally bold shrubs. This leads to a gently falling water garden and then up some steps to an enclosed garden with perennial beds surrounding an undulating central design of box, myrica gale, and hellebores. Focused on summer-long interest, the garden has the added gift of a rich outlying landscape that includes a hillside filled with ancient trees and open fields bordered by old stone walls.
