The Gardens
A One-of-a-Kind Welcome
Originally from California, the current owners inherited an extensive perennial garden in 2007.
The ever-changing retreat includes a koi pond, an arched garden bridge, and a guest cottage.
The outdoor entertaining space features a repurposed island that welcomes friends and family.
Pergolas create structure for additional garden viewing including a cozy guest cottage nestled in
this magical backyard retreat.
Artists: Justin Vining and Sarah Anderson
Ever Evolving!
Tucked into a quiet pocket between two busy thoroughfares, discover a flourishing garden that has grown over 30 years in tandem with one family’s desires and passions. Strong structural design creates a base for play, exploration, and respite thanks to the homeowners’ commitment to continual connection with nature. Thoughtfully created spaces honor the past, present, and future with a welcoming spirit.

A Bride, A Bouquet, and A Balcony
Merge the rose-trellised entry of a nearly 100-year-old formal Italianate home with a manicured front lawn bordered by waves of flowers. Next add a trickling fountain, a mix of red maples, white magnolias, redbuds, and a sprinkling of dogwoods. Overlooking a stately courtyard garden is a Juliet balcony where the owners’ son and daughter-in-law tossed the bridal bouquet in this stunning fairytale setting.

A Georgian Colonial Treasure
This unusual wedge-shaped property offers distinct gardening zones. An attached greenhouse allows the owner to start seedlings each spring. The adjacent parterre is interspersed with annuals, herbs, and vegetables. A large welcoming expanse beckons guests with a colorful perennial border to linger and unwind. A granite fountain and a revered sculpture complete the design.

An Entertaining Enclave
Imagine a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home with endless possibilities for outdoor entertaining. Whether lounging by the pool under a custom Italian umbrella or chatting with guests by the firepit, this property offers many entertaining options. Order, symmetry, and uniformity grace the well-placed specimens of oaks, maples, boxwood, river birch, and a lush border of strawberry vanilla hydrangeas.
