This is a property I designed in Lewiston. Springtime is especially lovely. Enjoy the tour, the flowers bloom mostly in pink. See more of this property on Garden Walk Garden Talk on Tuesday.
Rhododendron is king in Spring. The first image is at the driveway entrance and above, the rear of the residence.
The clematis was newly planted the year before. It is filling in nicely.
Japanese maple are in many locations on this property and do quite well.
The side garden above was designed for wedding photos to be taken. The wedding was the following year, so the plantings had time to fill in.
Island beds are throughout the huge front yard. The new spruce are planted as a screen. They will get beds as they develop.
Hope you enjoyed the tour.
stunning, stately, beautiful
I couldn’t say it better than Donna, beautiful, Frances
All I can say is WOW! You are such a talented designer!
Absolutely lovely!!
What a stunning property! You did a fabulous job on the design. Those rhododendrons are gorgeous and big! Lovely with all that pink.
Just gorgeous! I’m really inspired to redesign my garden now. I just need to shrink everything.
How wonderful to have that lovely spacious garden with pink flowers blooming, beautifully kept lawn and trees! I love the garden for the wedding photo! You are genious Donna!
So lush and beautiful. Azaleas in full bloom are a spectacular sight.
The idea of buying-in large established plants would never occur to me, but I can see how it can totally transform your garden (and probably your life) overnight. The owners have trusted you with a huge responsibility. Well done Donna.
The landscaper is a grower and has trees up to forty feet.
How beautiful! The rhodies are gorgeous, and the Japanese maple too. It’s refreshing to see a willow in a landscape where it has room to grow, even though I’m guessing that’s the neighbor’s, and soon will be obscured by the spruce. I hate seeing willows on tiny lots with cropped haircuts. I don’t think a lot of people appreciate just how giant they can be!
These neighbors were actually ‘feuding’ over the willow. I designed both properties, not the willow as it was there longer than I have been alive. I will show that property too at some point. The spruce were so the debris from the willow would not soil the other neighbor’s lawn. to trap it in the driveway. The wind blew it all one way unfortunately.
What a gorgeous estate! You must have enjoyed working on such a lovely piece of property, and you have done a masterful job. The wedding had to have been very special!
Wow, great design! What a perfect spot for the Clematis, and the overall layout of the whole estate is very impressive!
Loved the tour! So beautiful! Thanks!
What kind of spruce did you use? They look like the ones I’ve seen popping up around my area.
There were Norway, and Blue Spruce on this job, plus concolor fir.
The spruce in the pics seem a little different from the Norway’s I’ve read about. Are they cultivars? or just the straight species?
