GARDENS
The new clients loved the vegetable garden, and requested that Troy make it more substantial. They also wanted the lower lawn to be transformed for croquet and bocce ball.“ They travel extensively, and have children and grandchildren. The garden has become a great area for recreation, relaxation and quality time together,” Troy relays.
With such a large space, what has arguably been handled most beautifully is the transition between the gardens. Troy achieved a sense of privacy without a feeling of isolation. He has pulled off that desirable balance between whimsy and sophistication; this is truly a garden for life. n
