Gregg Deems

This year is in tribute to Gregg’s mom, Rosie Deems. She was an avid gardener who enjoyed flowers –especially roses. Enter through an arch of pink Eden roses and a white picket fence covered with Iceberg and Somebreuil roses. A curved walkway leads to a water fountain and a colorful display of hollyhocks, foxgloves, delphiniums, camellias, and impatiens flanking the front door. The pergola provides a lovely view of the rose and iris gardens. As you stroll toward the gardens in the back you pass a climbing white Eden rose, camellias, dahlias, larkspur, and cup and saucer and other colorful perennials. Continue to walk into the side yard and pass through another rose covered arbor near a bed of iris and alstroemeria. A favorite place where hummingbirds flutter on their way to visit the stephanotis at the water feature. If you linger near the fuchsia baskets, a deep breath will bring you the delicate fragrance of sweet peas. The covered patio is ready to entertain and overlooks the centerpiece of the rose garden–a three tiered fountain with two sweet pea towers. Feel free to travel the path shaded by a large avocado tree and discover the gazebo and many other flowers to treat your camera to.
