This Year’s Gardens
#1 Jepson Families: Chelsea Jepson & Eric Schuster, Chris & Emma Jepson, Donna Lee McBride
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.
#2 Jane Talbot & Kevin Williamson
Description coming soon.
#3 Alan Eininger & Susan Brady
When Alan and Susan moved here in 2020 their yard was dominated by a rock wall, bad soil and dead grass. Susan wanted color and Alan wanted interest, and they now have both with an unusual garden of amazing textures and color achieved in a non-traditional way.
#4 Robin and Gordon Plume
You will be awed and amazed by this garden! Passionately built over the past 30+ years, it combines strong structural bones and thoughtful plant choices providing year-round appeal.
#5 Amy and David Gould
