My 5 year old "country garden in the city" surrounds an 1897 farmhouse (a Sears and Roebuck kit house). After many years working on the house, I turned to the garden. Set on the remaining terraced acre of a former 40 acre fruit orchard, the hardscape was designed by landscape architect Steven Koch. It features a stone pathway planted with thyme, a bluestone courtyard, dry stacked stone walls, staircases and a gravel terrace. The garden has a walled vegetable garden with water feature, an herb garden, a native plant meadow with bee boxes, and a splendid old Camperdown Elm brought from England and planted at the edge of his land grant by Captain Hewitt. In April, featured plants are camellia, magnolia, dogwood, erythronium, pulmonaria, corylopsis. In May, there are allium, lilacs, iris, penstemon, lewisia. The meadow blooms with camas, buttercups, lupine. Wood chip sloping paths surround the meadow - wear comfortable shoes.
