The 2005 Gardens
Crafted Elegance
Sensitivity to the site and to the environment guided the design of these exquisite Japanese-inspired gardens. In a woodland setting near the front of the house, mature rhododendrons transplanted from elsewhere on the property blend with Japanese maples to surround a masterfully crafted watercourse and pond of a size and complexity rarely seen in a private garden. A finely detailed courtyard garden borders the house. On the view side, a subtly-shaded quilt of phormium, heather, lavender, and nandina blankets the gentle slope between terrace and lawn. Covering about an acre and a half, this three-year-old garden conveys serenity, balance, and refinement.
