General
This property's full gardens have graced Tyler, Texas since 1950. With the private home and gardens situated on Tyler's renowned Azalea and Spring Flower Trail, the gardens provide a city showcase - especially due to the abundance of brilliant daffodils. The azaleas, other spring blooms and towering trees draw visitors to the landscape throughout springtime. Seasonal plantings are enjoyed during the summer, fall and winter months.
Major tree plantings include Shumard Red Oaks, Water Oaks, Green Maples, Crepe Myrtles (Natchez) and Dogwoods. Wintergreen Boxwoods and American Holly provide hedge borders, while a variety of vines - including Fig Ivy, English Ivy and Trumpet Vine - supply other planting dimensions.
The backyard pool is surrounded by topiaries accented by wrought iron furniture. Sculptures include a stone St. Francis and a royal metal frog with a crown. Other features include fern baskets, arbors and brick walkways.
Persons associated with the garden include Naud Burnett (landscape architect, 1955); Noel Pullam (landscape architect, 1975); Selena Short (landscape designer, 2000s- ); Johnny & John Carter (masonry, 2016).
