RESIDENTIAL GARDENS:

Bob & Karen Henderson 356 Dorchester Rd.
Ornamental trees, evergreens and shrubs form the bones of this large landscaped yard. Stone pathways wander through the various sun and shade gardens. Many perennials have been used to provide a continuous display of colour during the growing season.

Dr. Susan Hall 132 Prideaux Street
This garden has different rooms for different occasions and is designed for low maintenance. Much of the planting is chosen to withstand the Black Walnut trees.

Corinne & Dieter Unruh 17 The Promenade
A peaceful and private residential yard, created around a centerpiece of multilevel, cascading deck. Manicured perimeter gardens include herbs and heirloom tomatoes surrounded by layers of hosta, euonymus, hydrangea, cedar and mature trees.

Hilary Bellis 65 Niagara Street
A garden started from scratch 15 years ago with small vignettes around every corner. Wild and natural with whimsical touches tucked in every nook and cranny. Plenty of wildflowers make this a bird haven to accommodate several species year round. Raised beds of herbs for cooking.

Randell & Mikell King 170 John Street
A very private yard surrounded by mature cedars with grey stone garden walls and walkway. They will lead you on a path past flowers, shrubs and ornamental trees.
