This urban garden has changed dramatically over the past 12 years, with major changes the past couple of years. The “Dutch Wave” Garden inspired by garden designer Piet Oudolf’s Singer Museum is now complete. Texture is the focus of the garden, but waves of color are a highlight in the summer months.The garden is located on a hillside and has many artfully constructed rock and block walls. Steel elements create raised planting beds, light bollards, signage, BBQ element and sculpture. A number of new sculptures have been added the past year.Interspersed with the abundant collection of conifers and maples, are plants that provide flowers for cutting, butterfly and hummingbird food sources, herbs for harvesting, and trees and shrubs with year-round interest. Freaky plants abound. The garden is at it’s peak in July and August when annual and perennial flowers are at their brightest and best.This urban garden is full of surprises. This past year many plants which have survived the Dinosaur age have been added to the garden. Over 60 cultivars of Japanese Maples are sprinkled throughout the garden.Dwarf conifers appear at every turn and provide a year round continuity in the garden. A large number of grass species growing in the garden are easy to compare. (At least those the bunnies have not consumed!)Gene and Randy welcome you.
