What is Around the Corner?

Lower Garden Path
Heatherwood Japanese Garden

Trees, shrubs, and ground covers frame the lower path of our Japanese garden area. I can hear water rushing, but there is no sign of it. What lurks around the corner of the path? Trees and carefully placed bends in the pathway obscure what is beyond.

The garden is filling in. It is hard to realize that only six years ago that this area was a grass lawn. ‘Visioneering’, imagination, design iterations, and some hard work formed the structure. Mother Nature did the rest!

“Garden Path”
Heatherwood Fall

Various paths weave their way through our Heatherwood garden. Some of the paths are formal stone paths, some are gravel, some are bark mulch, and some are simple unplanted passage ways through the various plantings. Most paths wind through planted areas to destinations unknown. The paths are not designed to get from point A to point B. They are laid out to provide different views and perspectives as one strolls through the garden. There is usually a little surprise around each corner.
