I like that relatively ordinary plants have been used throughout. I’m a bit of a plant collector and always like to have the newest cultivar, but there is something simple about the plant selection here that I find soothing.
My favorite part is the dry creek bed they’ve created in the middle of the driveway. I’ve seen a lot of driveways that have what amounts to a drainage ditch in the middle and none of them are particularly attractive, but this is a very creative and attractive solution to a relatively common problem.
The landscape design firm is Woodburn and Company. They are located in New Hampshire, and this is what they had to say about this project on their website:
What do you think about this landscape?
I love it! Very approachable. That dry bed really sets the tone for the whole design. And you're right, the lady of this manner is certainly not maintaing that herself.
Such a great day yesterday! It actually felt like spring!
This reminds me of the Anderson garden on lake Geneva Wi. Maybe if you have that kind of house you just naturally have the taste and money to do the garden right.
I think it's very pretty. I really like the use of boulders and the casual, approachable feel to the garden.
