GARDENS
A Garden
for the Ages
H
Home to Anne and Rob Schleusner and their three teens, this Myers Park garden
appeals to all ages—the couple, their children and their many neighbors and
guests. The Charlotte home is distinguished by the landscape’s central axis align-
ment and features a lovely, expansive design with both French and English for-
mal 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.
