Dappled Berms - The Garden of Scott VanderHamm

The garden is situated on a 1-acre property within a 1950s (IBM-era) suburban community. As a result of the mature-growth trees which dominate the grounds, a shade perennial garden was created and cultivated over 26 seasons of weekend gardening. The assembled collection of plants, spread throughout numerous beds and man-made berms, relies heavily on the juxtapositions of color, texture, and form to bring interest and natural beauty to the garden. One of the highlights of the garden is the collection of more than 427 different hosta cultivars numbering more than 715 specimens, all labeled for ease of identification. Dappled Berms is one of 25 gardens featured in the book by Linda O'Keeffe, Inside Outside: A Sourcebook of inspired Garden Rooms.

This garden's estimated size is 1 acre.
