This unique setting of three adjoining gardens was created by Chelsea who moved here in 2012. As neighboring homes became available, her brother Chris’s family and her grandmother, Donna joined her. On Alabama, a border of native sedge, Carex obnupta, connects the homes and provides a substantial barrier to a busy street. A row of variegated dogwoods is the next layer to add cohesiveness and seasonal interest. The back gardens have archways and paths to connect them, but each has their own look. Donna is the rose expert and has vegetable patch along with an old-fashioned cottage garden. Chris & Emma designed theirs for family gatherings and child’s play all overlooked by a loved katsura tree. Chelsea’s features custom fixtures and panels (created by her), an elegant side gate, fountains and an elaborate covered seating area. Look up so you don’t miss her very cool “living” patio roof.
