The 2006 Gardens
Village Garden
This serene garden unfolds as the visitor follows the terraced entryway past cascading shrubs, ferns and a variety of shade- loving plants. Stop to admire the mature Japanese Maple and other exquisitely pruned patio trees and shrubs. The hands-on owners give credit to garden designer Fran Abel for her excellent placement and pruning advice. Around each corner is a new discovery, a new venue, and the variety of intimate encounters creates an overall sense of expansiveness. The secluded patio gardens are defined by shrub borders, fences, pavers and planted containers between the main and guest houses. The owners repeat plants they have learned work in their specific garden and plant for foliage texture and color, and form. Behind the guest house you’ll find a small garden of edibles occupying the sunniest area. This garden is a delight for outdoor living and entertaining.
