Barbara's Garden
Barbara's beautiful property faces long island sound. The garden is divided up into 5 separate gardens. The dry garden, the front garden, the long border, the beach garden and the vegetable garden. Barbara hired me to redesign plantings and add structural accents in the form of evergreens to the garden. Over a 3 year period many shrubs, and perennials were added. Amending the soil is an ongoing process.
Adding Boxwood, Ivy, Holly, and Yew to the front garden.
