The Grey Lady

A beautiful 4 acre property on Nantucket became the site for this magnificent garden.  Our client wanted to be able to pick a fresh bouquet of flowers every day. Organized beds with native plantings, vibrant color, white hydrangea and a vegetable/herb garden.

We planted drifts of color following the English color wheel theory used for perennial borders,  meadows under high bush blueberries, sweeps of wild flowers, field stone stepping stone paths, more meadows, orchards, native trees, the largest collection of hydrangea on the island, over 10,000 perennials and shrubs, a wedding walk of white Emile Mouillere macrophylla hydrangea, a hot color garden off the kitchen, a New England stone terrace, a 350’ long x 15’ wide perennial border stocked with perennials and shrubs to fill vase after vase each and every summer day.

Early evening or early morning is the best time of day on Nantucket, the light is soft pink, and these 4 acres of gardens are lit by the enchanted Nantucket light.
