Project Description: This garden renovation included the restoration of the brick patio, the sculpting of a neglected but splendid cherry tree, adding new topsoil and new plantings of shrubs and woodland perennials. In addition to being repaired the brick patio was reduced to make space for a larger border garden. The garden is filled with Foam Flower, Spring Phlox, and Coral Bells.
