New Vernon -- Woods Garden

This was a large, multi-faceted project for a multi-lavel property. At the rear of the house story-high circular walls defined two patio areas on an upper level, while also semi-enclosing a third space at ground level. This lower patio opened onto a lawn leading to a pond created as part of the project. Low stone walls provided additional definition for this lower space. Plantings included a fast-growing Callery pear to provide shade for this sunny side of the house. At the front of the house and along the driveway a variety of flowering trees and shrubs provided an orderly arrangement further articulated by vertical stones separating these planting areas from the roadway.

Persons associated with the garden include Lois W. Poinier (garden designer) and Bryson Woods (former owner).
