This is a true plant lover’s garden and Jennifer can tell you where most every plant came from and why it is unique to her collection. At the street front, you’ll see a mix of perennials, annuals and bulbs which have reseeded and meandered over time to form a colorful mosaic. Inside this front garden, there is a ‘secret’ area that holds her latest additions. Be mindful of the new plantings if you enter there. Opposite the front porch, under the Cedrus deodora ‘Aurea’ a collection of shade plants is fronted by rustic wattle fencing. On the front porch area, along with a water trough, are the newer plants that she carefully tends to. The back garden is “as formal as it gets” with boxwood hedges providing year-round structure for roses, columbines, lilies and hardy geraniums. Look for the unusual, winged blood thorn rose. The she-shed and greenhouse are built of reclaimed materials and decorated in Jennifer’s unique style. In the very back she created a vegetable garden unlike any you’ve ever seen. Jennifer likes to tweak the garden design and add new plants each season. She says she has a bad case of zonal denial and grows plants in need of special soil conditions, hence her extra-large collection of potted plants. Enjoy this garden with its exceptional collection of plants and creative design.
