We invite you to slow down, step back, and enjoy 'Yesterdays Garden'; our cottage style gardens nestled into the mature trees and landscape of this once horse and sheep farm. We have used the 'old bones' of this property to develop our new planting of hard-to-find and unusual plants amidst many old time favourites.

 

Wander the paths and discover something special around each corner. Sit in our rustic vine covered shade room or sun in a garden chair. Look, listen, smell and enjoy the elusive atmosphere that many strive for in a garden.

Our passion has been to expand our borders and introduce great trees, shrubs and perennials into various micro climates. We often deny our zone 5 rating and try the unconventional. We have introduced trees like the 'Chinese Fringe' tree, the illusive 'Dove' tree and 'Japanese Pink Snowbells'. Some of our favourite shrubs include Heptacodium, Fothergillas, Calycanthus & Niella. The 4 season garden with year round appeal has become our goal. Structure, shape, foliage, texture and bloom time are all considered as we continue to grow in our knowledge of horticulture.

Autumn brings the final show of colour with the fabulous foliage of viburnums, oakleaf hydrangeas, Metasequoias, Oxydendrulms and ornamental grasses which are at their best with rich golds and deep maroons gracing the landscape. We plant masses of bulbs each fall, looking ahead to the spring fling of colour.

 

We continue to discover the diversity of conifers and can envision more changes as we work in these great specimens to enhance our year round look.

Other gardeners have asked for some of these hard to find plantings and so it became a natural addition to our on site antique business to offer many of the unique and unusual tree, shrubs and perennials for sale. We also offer a garden design and consultation service.

   

   
All in all, we aim to offer our gardens for your touring pleasure and the opportunity for you to purchase new and unusual plant specimens for your garden.
