Venture behind the Garden Gate

It’s behind a garden gate that a gardener’s true nature is uncovered: “ Perennial Heaven” features an adventurous gardener who never met a plant she didn’t like—you’ll see proof when you admire the colorful planted window boxes and all the intriguing perennials encircling this beautiful garden—look out for hummingbirds; a peek at the one-acre woodsy “Lakeside Gem” reveals a craftswoman and true gardener as the many paths reveal treasures at every turn—take your time, don’t miss a thing; contemplating vacations and retirement must have been this gardener’s inspiration for the calm and relaxing view from “Par for the Course” on the 13th tee box with its Torii-gated bell, water feature and perennials; a gardener with a decorator’s flair is discovered in a “Terraced Retreat” with an outdoor room created out of a sloping hillside yard—it’s sophisticated and private nestled under the trees; “Certifiably Sustainable” shows this gardener’s respect for the environment—her yard is kind to our earth and beautiful with its waterfall, pond and plantings; and in “The Garden Love Built” this gardener honors his parents by transforming a blackberry-covered acre into an inspiring garden designed as a tribute to their WWII POW romance.
