Landmarked Landscape

For readers unfamiliar with the Palm Beach area , the landmarked John Volk estate is located close to town along Lake Worth . The owners reached out to Fernando Wong and his team to refresh and refine the historic property ’ s landscape .
Fernando looked at the project as “ part restoration and part reimagined ” saying , “ Some of the lines of the old garden still exist , but in terms of plant material everything , with the exception of the historic kapok tree , is new .”
For more information on John Volk , visit the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach website .
