"We have lived at this home since 1993 and have been developing the garden about that long."
How I wish I could display empty beautiful pots like this. Somehow, mine always end up with plants stuffed into them.
This gorgeous variegated Polygonatum is gorgeous and has me wanting to replace my solid green ones with this.
"Over time we have removed and limbed up trees around the house to gain light and to make room for smaller trees and shrubs."
"The property is about 1 acre but only about a third has been developed to a garden, the remainder is heavily wooded and very steep."
"As a long time Anglophile I have tried to work in some of the design elements of an English Garden such as crisp hedges, colorful borders, and paved walkways. Balancing this is our commitment to having the garden be a home for the wildlife that lives in the forest around it."
Sir Weeds A Lot, I believe.
I love the backdrop of towering evergreens but my friends who garden near them say that the litter is a bit of a pain.
Think of all the cool climbing plants you could grow up those amazing trunks.
Here's part of the undeveloped steep part of the property. There was a trail and some pots of sun-loving veggies back here.
Back in the garden proper.
Sandra took a rock mosaic class and created this cool stepping stone.
Then she created this!
The deck is a recent addition and has become a favorite place to spend summer evenings.
Thank you Sandra and Jerry for opening your beautiful garden for us to enjoy!
