So Near And Yet So Far

Montclair, NJ

The Garden Conservancy Preservation Partner Garden

About

Welcome to my garden! There are lots of lovely changes that I’ve made in the last two years! The front garden now has a nice curving path and new broad steps to the house. You will get to see what I’ve done with the plantings! Then, follow the brick path around the side of the house and look for the climbing roses, Baptisia, smoke bushes, and a Japanese maple. Open the new gate to a meditation garden and watch the birds at the feeder, notice the Mayan rock wall with its spirit windows surrounding a moonshaped pond. Enjoy the mounds of hakone grass, and the clump bamboo, but don’t miss the tree bench with the tree’s newly made clay animal totems surrounded by hydrangeas, roses, and hellebores. Follow the path to the Balinese platform floating in a sea of ferns and daylilies. Take a moment to enjoy the privacy, then walk back to the new deck with its wonderful steel-wire railing. Come up and see the garden from this vantage point!


This garden’s estimated size is 1/4 acre.
