GARDENS
Mixing Old and New
“The real transformation of the garden
happened with planting. Boxwood
edging and globes in the parterre garden gives the space structure. Hydrangea and azalea offer alternating blooms
and color, and are complemented by
effusive plantings of seasonal annuals,
perennials, and groundcovers,” states
Landscape Architect Cindy Cline.
The front garden is a perfectly kept
parterre of boxwoods with seasonal
blooming plants in each quadrant. The
white azaleas had already bloomed
and when Peachy photographed the
garden the magnificent foxgloves in
shades of pinks and purples were at
their peek. They will be followed by
hydrangeas and agapanthus.
The owners asked for multiple seasons
of color in a range of blues, lavenders,
whites and cool pinks. This is accomplished with a mix of hydrangea,
camellias, ferns and other perennials to
offer something in bloom all year long.
