Walk out of the big city and enter through a white picket fence and bower arch of pink roses to find yourself in an English garden adorned with hydrangeas, impatiens, daisies, tulips, roses, milkweed, geraniums, and tiger eye. This is a pleasant surrounding not only for butterflies and birds, but a full shade Liquid Amber tree arbor bordered by white wooden lawn furniture promises hours of conversation and relaxation. For privacy you can stroll into a quiet, tropical backyard with mature multi-trunk Arbutus Marina tree, several palm trees, a display of many shades of plumeria, an approximately 55-yr old 250-pound fern, marigolds, and an orchard including olallieberries the grandlittles love to pick. This relaxing setting includes a playhouse with bench and shade tree, a BBQ Fire pit with beautiful brickwork, a huge waterfall, a bar, and a green lawn surrounded by flower beds with lots of succulents and color. All of this provides evidence of a resident gardener who unwinds from busy working hours by lovingly tending her vernal artistry throughout the year.
