Bright & Shiny Cherry Allee
Heatherwoood Autumn
When we began to design our lower Heatherwood garden, I asked Mary what she would like to see. She replied, “Something bright and shiny!” We designed and built the “Cherry Allee” to accomplish her request. In the spring, the cherry trees display their beautiful pinkish-white blooms. In the summer, the perennials burst out in a brilliant mix of yellows, reds, whites, and purples while the grasses provide a subtle contrast. In the fall, the cherry trees display their purple and orange leaves and frame the changing colors of the beds below. In the winter, the browns and tans of the spent perennials and grasses provide a stunning contrast to the reddish bark of the cherry trees along their side. Mission accomplished!!!
