Inspired Outdoor Living
ABOVE: Boxwood globes make an inviting gateway into the garden. The Greek temple-
inspired pavilion provides a shady respite for relaxing with a grand view of the landscape
beyond. A seating terrace — complete with a new fireplace that's designed to look original to
the home — is a great place for entertaining.
LEFT: This path was designed as a private, informal entry to the home and garden. A simple
composition of bluestone steppingstones along with simple plantings of boxwoods, blue
hydrangeas, dwarf mondo grass, autumn ferns, pachysandra, and a specimen Japanese
maple complement the Colonial Revival architecture of this 1920s-era home.

FACING PAGE TOP: Blue hydrangeas, clipped holly, and cloud-shaped boxwood soften the
corners of the porch — much like drapes to a window — and define the entry porch of this
classical brick home.
FACING PAGE BOT TOM LEFT: Rounded boxwoods define this informal courtyard that leads
to the back entrance, where man's best friend peeks through the window and awaits a
homecoming. A curved, bluestone edge provides the perfect planting niche for a boxwood.
FACING PAGE BOT TOM RIGHT: The formal bluestone walk is interrupted by a flower-filled
urn that's on axis to the French door. Rounded and clipped boxwoods soften the edges,
adding layers and dimension to the garden. Dwarf mondo grass takes the place of a grass
lawn for ease of maintenance and effect.
