We¹ve been working on our garden for about ten years. Our goal has been to create a cool and quite outdoor rooms in which to relax and entertain friends.

There is no specific style of gardening, we¹ve just thrown it all together like a large floral arrangement. The front garden is fenced in for privacy and to make the garden feel part of the porch. The back gardens are edged with river rocks gathered over the years from our favorite swimming hole. We grow some herbs but never vegetables, we prefer to support several our local organic farms.

We keep our garden projects small and low maintenance so we can spend most of our summer days by a river.
