This garden is not just composed of plants and flowers. Fire, water, and salvaged treasures play an important role here. Countless birds, butterflies, and occasional nocturnal visitors also make their presence known.
The garden views from many vignettes and seating opportunities offer several different perspectives. The front entry porch has been transformed into a comfortable garden room for relaxation and alfresco dining. A nearby pond resides under a very unique climbing fig.
Boulders, stones, cobbles, and pebbles collected during travels over the years thread the garden together. An outdoor shower under a vine-covered arbor offers the ultimate experience of being one with nature. Thirteen salvaged chandeliers and three fire pits, along with other lighting elements transform the garden at dusk.
This very eclectic garden makes use of every nook and cranny. It packs a punch, beautifully proving that creating a garden in a small space can be done! Enjoy your visit.
