Forest Retreat

This design captures the enchanting spirit of a northern forest, blending natural beauty with thoughtful structure. In the sunlit portion of the garden, slender weeping spruce trees draw the eye upward. Around them, a tapestry of textures unfolds of grasses, evergreen shrubs, and delicate bursts of white and blue blooms create a lively yet harmonious palette. In the shaded garden, cool-toned silvers and soft blue foliage evoke a sense of calm and quiet refuge.

The heart of the design lies in the seamless integration of an existing water fountain basin, reimagined as the base of a dry creek bed. This stone-lined feature winds organically through the space, linking the sun and shade gardens into one cohesive, flowing landscape. The dry creek not only adds movement and story but also anchors the design with a timeless, meditative quality—turning the entire garden into a serene escape rooted in nature’s rhythm.
