About

My garden has been a work in progress for 44 years. When I moved here with my husband, Stephen Fabrico, who was a renowned ceramic artist, there were almost no gardens. Today, the property is scattered with many of his beautiful sculptural works and several different garden areas. The pool area was added in 2011 and has become what I call my “little piece of paradise.” There you will find a mix of plants, including some tropicals and my fig trees, along with container gardens and succulents. The rest of the property has various gardens, perennials, shrubs, trees, fruits and vegetables, including many varieties of hydrangeas. Many of the shrubs were planted for cutting purposes, for use in my wedding flower business. The large garden, which now houses many of the perennial fruits, used to be my cutting garden. I have been influenced, I have my passions, and I have had help. It all shows here.

This garden’s estimated size is 1 acre.
