Colonial Farmhouse Garden

Intent on creating a visceral reaction for guests upon arrival, plantings and pathways were designed to entice circulation and exploration in an experience the owner likens to "walking through a symphony".

Species of native Symphytum and Liatris were combined with cosmopolitan plants to generate hybridization on site and long-term viability of the garden. Hand-cut salvaged fieldstone was used for edging, paving and retaining walls to maintain the vernacular of the 1700s farmhouse.

Beyond beauty, an intimate courtyard was created by siting a new garage with rain gardens to provide function and ease of accessibility for the owners.
