At Home Series: A Private Garden in Haverford
05/30/2013
10:00 AM
12:00 PM

It is hard to believe that when the owners bought this property morethan twenty years ago, very little landscaping existed. Over theyears, this private garden was designed and planted as an outdoorextension of the house – to be enjoyed from windows and upper-floordecks. Today a profusion of plants exude fragrance and a sense ofromance as hydrangeas, clematis, and roses clamor over the house,fences, and arbors. The series of garden rooms flow skillfully from thehouse to a hidden pool and benches placed throughout the garden offerquiet places to sit and enjoy the scenery. As we tour the garden, theowners will tell us about the challenges of developing the site and theplants that have served their vision so well. Photography forcommercial use requires permission from the garden owners. Traveldirections will be provided and carpooling is recommended. Limited to25.
