Artwork is incorporated throughout the garden providing interesting focal points


with gigantic hens and chicks and large round boulders, another alcove contains a marble planter filled with fountain grass and papyrus. This Asian themed garden is stun-


ningly tied together through the use of statues, oriental-style plantings, such as the lush planter of papyrus and Trost’s birch, and the Asian wall plaques that can be found throughout the garden unitew earth and art. Gardens overflow onto the pathway, too gregarious to be contained, while lilies and other peren- nials can be seen poking up through the rocks. As you step through to the front yard,


the magical garden is left behind. Mani- cured lawns surround the front gardens filled with cedars, hostas and hydrangea bushes growing neatly against the red brick and white wood trim. The only hint of the beauty behind the red gate door, besides it colour, is the plaque that sits along the wall leading to the gardens beyond the gate. i


Pathways add depth to the garden and a romantic feel.


A large bush of lambium mixes with the colourful leaves of the ninebark bush and thyme carpet.
