When entering the garden, one finds themself stepping into a garden of split personalities. Visitors will find a mix of colorful annuals, the variety of greens and textures of perennials, the whimsy of yard art, and an urban vegetable garden.
The tulips, daffodils, crocuses, and iris have faded and transitioned to the summer garden. Longer hours of sunlight and warmer temperatures will bring the columbines, cone flowers, day lilies, and black-eyed Susans that combine to create the look of an English garden. As summer progresses, the homeowners will enjoy home grown tomatoes, peppers, green beans, eggplant, and okra from the vegetable garden.
All of this is surrounded by a variety of trees suitable for smaller yards. Visitors will find a dogwood, a fringe tree, a Japanese maple, an oak leaf hydrangea, and a Harry Lauder walking stick, the tree with the curly limbs. The front of the 1889 carriage house is adorned with an espaliered Japanese pear tree that keeps the squirrels well-fed.
Enjoy your stroll through this garden!
