The Secret Garden
A highlight at the rear of the 16 by 32
foot pool is an Italian sculpture entitled
“The Secret Garden.” This late 19th
century piece from Tuscany, carved
from a single block of Italian limestone,
serves as the main focal point for the
rear garden and is visible from all the
windows in the back of the home. As
Howard relays, “I think it is appropriate in this garden, as it really is a secret
garden with only one access point
without going through the house.”
Whether enjoying outdoor dining,
sunning by the pool or spending
time in the other garden “rooms” at
Greystone, these Atlanta homeowners are thrilled with Howard’s richly
detailed and classic design elements—
a perfect setting for both private family
time and entertaining friends. n
