The home of Randy and MaryAnn Bryant backs up to Hilltop Needmore Town Park & Preserve in Fuquay-Varina. The lush landscape frequently catches the eye of walkers passing by, as it did last spring when members of the Fuquay-Varina Garden Club stopped to spontaneously recruit the Bryants to participate in the 2021 Garden Tour — it worked. During the nearly 20 years the Bryants have lived in their home, trees have been felled by hurricanes or disease, and replaced by a layered, shady oasis. “What you do inside your home, you can do in your garden,” says Randy, a former art teacher. “The same principles of balance, of design, of symmetry are applicable in the garden.”

Like a home, (the garden) is never finished. RANDY BRYANT
REPETITION IS KEY. Planting the same type of plant throughout the garden creates fullness and connects the landscape with a cohesive design.
