| White Garden | 1996 Hornbeam Hedge 1997 Boxwood, plants and arbor 2000 Fountain 2010 Extend Path | Originally named Kelsey's Rose Garden (a daughter of a friend), we simply refer to it as our White Garden. It's a slice of "Sissinghurst" featuring a rose arbor, fountain and many perennials within formal boxwood lined beds.

| Statue Garden | 1998 Initial Planting 2006 Statue | 
In the spring, tulips surround a cloud of boxwood. In the summer, the bed is encircled with white geraniums. | "Within Reach" sits atop a concrete obelisk which was recycled from the farmhouse's porch. Eremurus and anemone are planted at its base further defined by an undulating circle of boxwood. The White Garden arbor is in the background.  |
Hen House Bunnie House | 2009 1999 | 
This was originally a pump house. The pen is made with square tubing draped with bird netting. | For Christmas 2009, we received four hens and converted the bunny house into a chicken coop. 
|
| Kitchen Garden | 1999 Initial Design 2009 Extend Path | Our kitchen/herb garden is right outside our back door. Herbs are planted in containers which are surrounded by boxwood parterres. |  |
Peony Path and Willow Walk | 2001 |  | The Willow Walk is just off the Peony Path.... actually both are just a short transition that connects the formal parking with the formal White Garden. 
The willow tree is one of only seven trees remaining from the farmhouse's original landscape. Damaged in strong winds, it is now pruned into a giant "bonsai" tree. |
| Smoking Garden | 2001 | Because smoking inside the house is discouraged, we created a little garden just outside the back door. |  |
| Tussie-Mussie Garden | 2002 Take over Veggie Garden 2005 Additional Lawn 2009 Brickwork |  | Originally our veggie garden, Mari and flowers eventually took it over. Tussie-Mussies are "talking bouquets" or posies representing the language of flowers. Flowers chosen for a small bouquet can express sentiments such as love, friendship, condolence or good luck.

| Court de Coco | 2003 | French in Style Our motor court features an entry through granite cobble columns, a field of crushed rock embellished with swirls of granite, and beds and edging of the same granite material. Plantings include topiaries, boxwood, hosta, helleborus, acanthus and miscellaneous perennials. The colors are a study of green with accents of white and dark purple.

East Garden at the New Terrace | 1999 2005 |  | French doors were added to the east side of the farmhouse and foundation plants added. It was our desire to add a conservatory off the house, but after much thought, we built a beautiful stone terrace. |
