Lush Hillside
Washington Ave.
The many small garden “rooms” and gathering spaces composing this extensive landscape are woven together with a series of vignettes—punctuation points where plants, stonework, and decorative elements are artfully arranged to give pause. New planting schemes here employ different levels, not only through a diversity of plant forms, but also through varying grades in the garden floor. With many endemic species incorporated throughout, this garden is a prime example of how native plants can be successfully employed in a more formal design. As we continue to work this lush space, we carve out negative space for specimen plants to shine.
