This rectangular garden space is defined by an impressive clipped hedge of Eastern arborvitae. Large cottonwoods and honeylocust overhang the garden, providing dappled shade at times as well as a sense of enclosure. Wide, peripheral planting beds are defined by a low, lannon stone wall and are filled with drifts of bulbs, perennials and annuals. Over 200 varieties of plants are grown in this garden every year. Spring colors include blues, violets and yellows. Summer colors become more vibrant with yellow, reds, maroon, white and touches of blue. A large, center section of lawn is ringed with a brick walkway and accented with a fountain at the east end. Eight large containers provide seasonal color as do “planting pockets” along the walkways.
