April 2009 Garden of the Month










The April, 2009 winner of the Garden of the Month award is the dramatically beautiful and always meticulously maintained garden at 17 Warbler Street, now in glorious spring bloom.
On the lane side, the spacious lawn, beautiful old trees, and large, rounded topiaries provide a lovely and elegant setting perfectly in scale and keeping with the handsome Tudor style mansion. This serene vista has been greatly enhanced by the gardener-owners by the addition of an elegant, classically-inspired fountain, handsomely encircled by lushly blooming irises, balanced by an expanded bed of small trees; large, flowering bushes; and flower beds.
Along the street side, the perimeter garden has been enhanced by the addition of iron fencing, new paving, and a colorful flower bed bordering the clipped hedge. Graceful palms provide height and feathery greenery between the hedge and house.
