New Vernon -- Woods Garden
Object Details
- General
- This was a large, multi-faceted project for a multi-lavel property. At the rear of the house story-high circular walls defined two patio areas on an upper level, while also semi-enclosing a third space at ground level. This lower patio opened onto a lawn leading to a pond created as part of the project. Low stone walls provided additional definition for this lower space. Plantings included a fast-growing Callery pear to provide shade for this sunny side of the house. At the front of the house and along the driveway a variety of flowering trees and shrubs provided an orderly arrangement further articulated by vertical stones separating these planting areas from the roadway.
- Persons associated with the garden include Lois W. Poinier (garden designer) and Bryson Woods (former owner).
