No fence to keep unwanted animals out, more sun exposure, not a speck of good soil, excellent machine access for bringing in materials to build a new garden, and an exciting pile the size of a motorhome of local boulders and special large rocks that Amy had been stockpiling for years. The first year they did nothing but observe. The second year they installed hardscaping, sculpting an interesting topography on top of a flat shelf of native sandstone. Over the past 18 months, the bulk of what you see now was planted. Striving to create a garden requiring less maintenance than her last one, Amy focused more on trees and shrubs than perennials, but being an incurable collector of unusual things, she can only take this so far. This year rabbits have been their nemesis, shearing down to the ground many unique, rare lilies that were moved from the old house, and they’ve eaten what should be colorful and lush Golden Ruby and Concorde Barberry plants, thorns and all. Amy and David hope you’ll enjoy seeing this new incarnation of their garden and, who knows, they might just be serving rabbit stew![/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”All Gardens” color=”primary” align=”center” link=”url:%2Fcategory%2Fgarden-tour%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
