A Quintessential Cape Cod Family Garden

This acre lot hosts a charming mix of natural, low maintenance plantings and more formal beds grouped around the house. Hardscape is used to produce a series of oases among the flower beds.

Visitors are invited to sit, relax and enjoy the sound of water spilling down a cascade of rocks brought by the owners from the Catskill Mt. in New York State. In 2014 the owners constructed a Japanese-influenced setting that adds to the tranquility of this space. Here you can listen as more water tumbles over the sides of an Asian garden stool. Drink in the peace and beauty of this garden space and appreciate what the owners have created from the poison ivy and cat briar woods they purchased in 2000. 

Directions to148 Kendrick Road, East Harwich.

Recycling Made Beautiful--A Garden's Evolution

Originally, this was to be a no-lawn property with pine needles.  Later wood chips were added.  It is laid out in a casual, flow design. Stone edgings, though functional, lend to a flow.  Enjoy a lavish mixture of small trees, perennials and shrubs including hydrangeas, of course! The front gardens are enhanced with a generous splash of annuals. Dahlias are featured in late summer.  Many of the plants are hand-me-downs from gardening friends or the owner’s own “must have” favorites. Some are in exactly the right spot and some are in various states of coming-to-be appropriate placement. This is the outcome of a “recycle” philosophy; using known plants and trying new ones in new ways and places. Now that a one-room addition has been completed, Pamela has the pleasure (and chore) of designing the gardens leading to and around that space. You can ask about the plans of this talented designer. Forever evolving—in this garden as in nature!
