About

This small garden in the village was designed by a plantsman to be an extension of the house. The house and garden are situated on a hill, and the garden is terraced on three levels. The upper level was designed to be enjoyed from the street and includes plants that are drought tolerant.

The middle level is laid out formally using yew hedges and a century-old granite wall foundation to create a garden room. The lowest level, an informal woodland garden has both eastern North American and eastern Asian shade-loving plants.

The garden was planted with a mixture of unusual trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, annuals, and bulbs. Plants were selected primarily for interesting form, foliage,

and texture. The garden is chronicled on Instagram @thegardenerseye.

This garden's estimated size is .5 acre.

This Garden Host reports the following Terrain Notes about the garden: The garden is terraced on the three levels and has many steps. The Upper Level can be seen without negotiating steps.
