Landscape architect Laurie Durden, of
Laurie Durden Garden Design, had a
dream client; she already knew them
well, had a sense of their impeccable
style, and best of all understood their
passion for gardening…
Working with family can be a scary
thing, but when Laurie’s parents asked
her to renovate the two-acre landscape
of their home located in Linville, NC,
she leapt at the chance.
The landscape renovation was part of
a larger project to expand and update
the residence in 2002. The goal was to
marry the cottage and landscape in
order to create a seamless relationship
between the inside and outside.
