The beautifully landscaped property includes many botanical specimen trees and shrubs along with five lilyponds that provide the peaceful and soothing sound of running water. The south-facing front wall, 108’ of continuous casement windows, frames the colorful plants and lovely water feature of the main garden.The entrance walkway incorporates a “floating” sidewalk that cuts directly through two of the principal lily ponds. All the ponds contain a wide variety of water lilies, lotuses, water irises, dozens of bullfrogs and hundreds of goldfish.

A whimsical 18’ tall sculpture of two red-and-white striped drinking straws emerges from the pond in the upper garden. This area also provides a panoramic view of the home and main garden.

A quiet and cozy hummingbird and butterfly perennial garden is located in the middle of the property.

A continuous ring of perennial flowers divides the yard from the larger meadow; 40,000 daylilies provide explosive color and pageantry in June and July, and 20,000 daffodils, planted amidst the daylilies, welcome Spring
each year.
