Shade Garden Poetry
BEFORE &
AFTER Views
This woodland shade garden
was lovely even in its "before"
condition. But in collaboration
with the poet–owner, subtle
editing was all that was needed
to polish this garden gem.
Sturdy stepstone entrances were
added at each end of a pathway
in addition to a delightful pottery
focal point.

Mockups play an important
role in the design process.
Above, wood stumps are stacked
to determine the desired height
of the proposed pottery focal point.
Removing invasive grasses permits
the distinctive textures of ferns &
perennials to stand out.
Generously sized stone treads
signal entrances.

Stroll Garden

BEFORE &
AFTER Views
Reimagining this undeveloped woodland
identified the opportunity for a nature walk.
Existing rhododendrons & native ferns
are punctuated by the addition of
shade-loving understory trees, shrubs,
& rescued rhododendrons. Site work
began by establishing a smooth bark
pathway & removing invasives (see process).
