The 2006 Gardens
Forest Haven
Twenty years' fascination with horticulture and the owners' passion for collecting plants is what created this lovely garden. The house and gardens are sited in a two-acre clearing surrounded by several acres of towering Douglas fir forest. The owners have planted color-themed mixed borders, established woodland glades, sunny vegetable gardens and a long cutting border. An enclosed patio, featuring a small fountain and Mediterranean plantings, invites you into the exquisite and functional potting shed. Roses, clematis and honeysuckle vines clothe fences and trellises that protect plantings from deer and rabbits. The garden is continually evolving but remains the tranquil and secluded haven the owners desired to create.
