Wind in tree top sighs
Above garden’s peaceful soul
City’s gentle hush
This project will replace the existing fence with a site appropriate fence, which will complement the garden style while maintaining security to protect the collection of art and plants.
The existing irrigation system will also be improved with the addition of automatically controlled irrigation zones, manually controlled irrigation zones, sprinklers, drip irrigation and drip hoses. Improvements will ease efforts to maintain the collection of Japanese Maples, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and other unique plants inhabiting this garden.
