History: Before 2008, this ⅓ acre property was completely shaded and there were no gardens. Massive oaks were removed to create sunny areas and two water features were added behind the house. The gardens have been evolving every year since.
Themes: A lawn-free, sunny property filled with annual and perennial flowers for pollinators and dense cover and water for birds. Prominent sculptures and whimsical art pieces created by Tom are placed throughout.
