Plant Combinations, Summer Borders, Patio Gardens
This charming garden includes ribbons of soft color in a romantic planting style and timeless simplicity. Packed with deer and drought resistant plants, this garden is a delight in terms of fragrance, forms and texture. At the foot of ravishing Cornus kousa shrubs (Japanese Dogwood) are easy to grow perennials and aromatic shrubs offering a very long season of interest extending from spring to fall.
Many plants have won the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
