Elegant Simplicity
The L-shaped hornbeam hedge on the
south side of the property provides
privacy and a vertical element or wall
to the garden. Serviceberries planted in
quincunx formation at the rear of the
property “define the primary garden
space and create a backdrop for the
specimen Jade Magnolia,” which blooms
a stunning white before it has leaves.
An ipe bench marks the edge of the
grove and provides a place for relaxing.
Looking out the kitchen window and
across the driveway, perennial and
herb gardens are defined by small,
clipped hornbeam hedges. The paths
and serviceberry grove feature stone
dust, which creates contrast for the
shadows and emphasizes the branching and architecture of the trees.
