Home

Built into the north side of a hill in St.
John's Valley in 1981, the house is flanked by shady beds ideal for rhodos and
other woodlanders. This is our second Prius and as a hatchback it can carry
alot more plants than our first four door model could

South Facing Greenhouse

A greenhouse with only south facing glass
covers the rear wall of the house. It is heated by the sun in winter and is vented at the roof in summer. Solar panels are used for heating
water.

Driveway in Early May

Peak bloom is in May, when this picture of
lepidotes and redbud was taken, but we have flowers through most of the year
thanks to late fall/winter blooming cyclamen, hellebore and hamamelis.

Woodland Garden

Besides rhododendrons and azaleas, our gardens feature many companion plants including a variety of understory maples,
enkianthus, cryptomeria, and hostas

Tree Collection on Front Lawn

What was once a treeless field of cabbages and tomatoes, with tractor compacted soil right up to the creek's edge, is now home to many rare native and oriental specimens. Marian stands between a June blooming Cornus kousa on the right and a Stewartia peudocamellia on the left. The trunk of a Japanese Hartnut is in the left foreground. Native birch, bald cypress and swamp magnolia shade the creek where a few brown trout swim. Giant coltsfoot is seen in the background along the creek.
