Our Garden

 
 

      Our garden consists of several small gardens around the house and a large (o.75 acre) woodland garden separated from the house by a dry creek bed. The woodland garden is a long, narrow plot (300' x 100') traversed by two paths through the length of the garden. The garden slopes across these paths creating a loop trail with upper and lower paths that begin just beyond the dry creek bed and extend to the back of the property.

       In some years, rainy weather or a week of hot days have conspired to deny us the pleasures shown in these two gardens. But there have been four years when spring was delayed by a week: by a cool winter in 2010 and two cold winter weeks in 2013 and 2015. The four Web pages that follow show that garden during these springs. We hope you enjoy them.
