Walter’s Wonderland

The Garden Conservancy Preservation Partner Garden

About

Charmed is how I felt when I first saw and decided to buy my property at the foot of the Catskills which broke the seemingly irresistible spell of New York City, answering the question of where I would possibly go if I ever left.

Several adorable, rustic outer buildings surround my cedar shingle cottage, begging to be accentuated with plantings.


Originally called to gardening while living in New York City, pots are plentiful, housing transient annuals, as well as more settled perennials.


My spiritual and creative outlet, my garden design is instinctual and passionate. Accented by sculptural stumps and lichen- stained stones rescued from obscurity in the woods, the garden is frequently described as charming and magical. Be sure to appreciate the grass patio, the garden graffiti, and the Japanese-inspired miniature alpine garden, and don’t forget to locate the three pot heads.


This garden's estimated size is 1/4 acre.
