A variety of shrubs and a mix of annuals and perennials provide an attractive entrance to this garden. |
As you follow the beds around and through this backyard, you will notice plants of all types--shrubs, trees, annuals.
|
|
The yard has a grassed area for play, a small pool, and perennial gardens border the perimeter. |
The tall perennials, small trees and vines, which ramble along the backyard fence, create an atmosphere of privacy and tranquility which is further enhanced by a small water garden.

This is an unusual, yet important to see, old-fashioned Italian vegetable garden. |
This lovely English garden is as restful as it is charming. It is large and is edged on three sides by a perennial border held in place by staggered layers of rock or stone.

|
During the course of the day, the garden provides the opportunity to see the differing effects of light and shadow on trees and perennial borders as the sun moves across the lot. |
The McAvity garden is very large by conventional urban and suburban standards. It includes several separate gardens, in different stages of development, and often highlighting individual plant types.

|
As you proceed to the main garden area, your attention is quickly caught by an island bed containing roses in a variety of colours and sizes, together with a fine collection of usual and unusual perennials. |
Mother Nature has been active in many parts of this garden. Roses, shrubs, and black raspberries have turned up in unusual spots. |
