Heather’s vision of a Mediterranean landscape comes to life in this garden. When she moved here 7 years ago, there were a small number of garden beds throughout. She expanded them in the front to create a carefully woven border of mixed shrubs and conifers that encircles the yard. A spectacular thornless yellow rose covers the front arches on the lower story of the house. On the left side of the house a planting of katsura, cotinus coggygria, weigelia and a ceanothus adds interest. Be sure to view it from above while on the small terrace in the back.
Heather first worked with a garden designer but then took over the planning herself. Heather’s pruning and design skills have had a unique effect on the garden.
In the back, a terraced yard was created with retaining walls and iron fencing.
A fiberglass swimming pool was lifted into place. Rosemary, Russian sage and other Mediterranean plants are laid out in sweeps. A repetition of topiary pots and slim evergreens punctuate the garden while foliage and color combinations
create a calm, uncluttered look.
Don’t miss Heather’s tapestry inspired fountain filled with succulents that is the center piece of the vegetable garden. Enjoy your stroll through this Italian garden.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”All Gardens” color=”primary” align=”center” link=”url:%2Fcategory%2Fgarden-tour%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
