Divided into a series of three enclosed garden rooms , each has a variety of structure or edge treatments — translucent glass , hand-troweled plaster , a curved bronze wall and plantings . The walls between rooms are composed of clipped Carolina cherry ( Prunus caroliniana ) hedges planted within steel frames . The need to explore is evoked as the rooms ’ entryways feel more like thresholds into a mysterious journey with spaces being defined by gates , walls , arbors and plantings .
Each room is unique . The first room is defined by translucent glass revealing elusive forms from the surrounding environment . Peppermint geranium ( Pelargonium tomentosum ) and ivy leaf sage ( Salvia cacaliifolia ) bring subtle fragrance and reinforce the edge . A multi-branched Osmanthus fragrans grows by a clean plaster wall punctuating the perimeter of the space .
