About
This seaside garden, just a few feet above high tide, with stunning views of the open ocean, faces nearly constant wind and salt. The garden challenges are enormous, but understanding small differences in microclimate is helpful. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to success is finding plants that can grow in these harsh conditions. Despite a limited planting palette, there are numerous interesting shrubs, perennials and annuals that are utilized to great effect. This is a relatively new garden, just four years old, so creating garden rooms for entertainment and learning what works is an ongoing process.
