Mixing Old and New
Two stately crape myrtles frame the
small gate that transitions to the rear
garden space which is sheltered by
a grand live oak. Confederate jasmine
arches over an arbor to create an entry
in the garden room. “A multi-layered
border of shade loving plants is laid
out in a semi-circle, framing the brick
terrace. This includes Oak leaf hydrangeas, fatsia, plumbago, autumn fern,
holly fern and iris,” Cindy Cline states.
“The owners requested a fountain
which provided the sound of water
and would echo in a walled garden.
The brick and bluestone have been
laid to create different areas almost
like rugs define a room.”
