Jenn Ferrante Garden

Visitors welcomed to this wonderfully color-rich garden will find that “Foliage Rules!” on this large corner city lot. The garden owner says she swoons over gold and dark leaved plants and that too many have found their way home to her garden. Rustic basalt paths lead around the house to a shady plant-filled east side, a private back corner oasis, and through to the sunny west side with a large deck. All these features invite one to pause and relax. There are numerous clematis, hydrangea, and daylilies (that might make you rethink daylilies!) tucked in with other perennials, rare gems, trees, and shrubs all chosen for their foliage. Quirky and rustic garden art is thoughtfully placed throughout the garden, and the original old concrete walkway and terracotta drain tubes that were dug up during the garden’s development have been artfully repurposed throughout.
