Guest parking at right leads into a side garden of old plant types used in plantation homes. The walk accesses the front porch from the side as the planting screens and frames the front of this home.

This garden home allows for a more closed-in courtyard feel. The front guest parking is separated by a brick wall and ornate iron gate which leads through the garden planting.

Privacy is a common concern for pool areas. In this design the pool area is screened with several layers of plant materials and small flowering trees. At the rear of the pool is a spa and wooden deck with a gazebo for a cool space and a retreat from the sun.

Spaces leading to spaces gives the feeling of depth and diversity in this garden. The view from the bay window of this home looks upon the gazebo at upper left and a planting along the rear property & fenceline for a more closed in intimate planting affect.

One outdoor room leads to another as the pool area is closed off from the larger circular perennial garden at top. The stepping stone walk leads to a pond shared by several property owners. The space at right has much shade from existing trees and a more naturalistic planting scheme.

Having a destination in a garden, like the one at top, is a very important aspect. The person experiencing the space should feel that they are being led from one outdoor area to another.

The dashed line inside the property line is a proposed picket fence. This encloses the front garden and reclaims the space as useful to experience and semiprivate.
