Inspired by English Country Gardens

Features:

  • Large central garden inspired by English country gardens — full of layered plantings, hedges, pathways, and a variety of garden structures.

  • Secret garden — with hidden entry in the surrounding hedge — filled with shade-loving perennials, stepping stones to a bench for reading and relaxing, set under a white-barked Himalayan birch.

  • Large hill planted with a mix of deciduous trees, shrubs, and blue spruce. Used for screening/privacy for the back patio as well as sledding on snowy winter days!

  • Seating area with raised fire pit for visiting with family and friends, surrounded by color and close to the children’s playhouse area.

  • Large evergreen shrubs provide a windbreak and perimeter screening.

  • Potting shed, greenhouse, cold frames, and garden tool shed.

  • Raised bed garden area for fruit and vegetables, bounded by a long arbor for clematis and roses.

  • Backyard orchard set within the orchard meadow that is planted with wildflowers and spring bulbs.

  • Wisteria tunnel planted with light purple and white wisteria.

  • Abundant shade trees to relax under during the hot summer months.
