This backyard design, located on the Mississippi River Road, brings a modern touch to the property’s existing cottage gardens. Carefully curated plantings create a harmonious series of spaces while taking on the variable light conditions throughout the site. A rustic path, which meanders through the lush woodland groundcovers and vibrant sun-loving prairie, leads to a generous patio and smaller nooks with custom seating benches offering opportunities for gathering and forest bathing among the plants and visiting wildlife.
Raised metal planting beds provide space for herbs, peppers and other annual gardening. A crushed gravel “tea nook” and “picnic lawn” are nestled into the deep plantings, providing space to relax among the flowers.
