This challenging space is part of a vibrant Craftsman style infill neighborhood in south Charlotte, NC. The homeowners wanted a "Cape Cod vibe" to a totally new front garden, a garden which would invite neighbors to stop by for a glass of wine after work. My challenges included the creation of usable space, the creation of a "garden" instead of a typical front yard, rekindling pleasant childhood memories by using familiar plants in new and unique ways, and incorporating art in the garden. The homeowners are musicians and art collectors. Photo by Jay Sifford.
