THE MEDITATION GARDEN

Two majestic Fern Pines flank this peaceful sanctuary while bubbling sounds from a natural stone fountain beckon passersby to look closer. The designer’s vision for this existing garden began with basic organization. Sago Palms were transplanted and trimmed, Nandina removed, and overgrown Azaleas brought under control. New plants include Abutilon and Camellias for color, twisted Bonsai Junipers for interest, and Mondo Grass to accentuate a statue of Buddha. Pebbles, added along an old stone path, guide visitors to a bridge overlooking the stream. A granite seat offers a welcome spot to pause and reflect.

There are few things as romantic as a beautiful rose, except, maybe LOTS of beautiful roses! The existing collection of hybrid Tea roses have been enhanced by installing striking metal trellises adorned with dreamy pink climbing roses. New topiary potted plants add depth, while an assortment of colorful companion plants and hand-blown glass globes bring the right touch of magic. From Spring to Fall a wide variety of flowers will grace this exceptional garden, bringing joy to all who visit. As you stroll through the garden be sure to, well, stop and smell the roses.
