A Garden for the Ages

This Myers Park garden appeals to all ages— the homeowners, their children and their many neighbors and guests. The Charlotte home is distinguished by the landscape’ s central axis alignment and features a lovely, expansive design with both French and English formal garden influences.

Blair Farris Designs brought the project to life. In addition to being Publisher and Editor in Chief of Peachy, Blair has a thriving landscape design business. The 2013 plan began with addressing a sloped yard that descends to a creek. The entire backyard is in a floodplain, which dictated significant terracing and grading. The family’ s desire for privacy was also paramount, and the finished plan includes several secluded areas for quiet reflection.
