Embracing the Landscape
In addition to the evergreens and trees,
the flowering component to the garden
includes shades of white and purple
to keep the palette fairly muted. “We
interjected a few ‘wow’ moments with
Globemaster and Purple Sensation
Allium along the pool and in the front
courtyard,” Abie says. These are followed by Verbena bonariensis later in
the summer and there is an unexpected
planting of wildflowers down the bluff
overlooking the lake.
In the five years that the family has lived
in the house, the plantings have been
able to mature and bask in their full
glory. In a city where a frigid six months
out of the year makes it difficult to enjoy
the beauty of outdoors, all involved
collaborated to create a stunning design
that can be fully enjoyed for the six
months that are entirely fabulous. n
