Breaking up space to create more gardens.


Wayne and Linda.


garden, Wayne wanted to see a ribbon of flowers," Linda chimes in. Speaking with them it is clear they are a perfect match. A couple that not only share the same passions but who work well together. "I began to take more risks after


Wayne and I met," laughs Linda. Becoming braver with design, the beds grew and Linda and Wayne transformed their entire yard into a spectacular place, filled with remarkable garden spaces, little nooks for sitting, and treasured memories. "We let the spaces dictate what they would become," says Wayne. But as most true gardeners will tell you, the plan is never finished; the gardens keep growing and evolving. While there was never a master plan,


the pair worked to achieve three things. They wanted to be able to see and enjoy the garden in every season of the year, and from every window of their home, and to have special places everywhere in their yard. Linda and Wayne now have several living garden rooms offering beauty, solace and memories, creating an outdoor haven, a home outside their home, to relax in.
