If you missed the May 6th Garden Tour - Jeff's Garden Part 3


Jeff, like all of us, battles/hates/curses the deer that mow down his precious plants. This fence is a new addition and opens up exciting new possibilities for plants that were previously on the can't-plant-because-they're-deer-salad list. Yeah deer fence! 









Jeff built a much larger deck/dock to access the creek, but Hurricane Irene and her flood waters swept it away.

Check back tomorrow for our continuing virtual tour. The next garden is a cottage garden designed by Victoria Gardens' Deb Gray.

If you missed the May 6th Garden Tour - Jeff's Garden Part 1


The whole idea of three very different gardens in one creek-side neighborhood was the brainchild of photographer and Victoria Gardens' favorite, Jeff Stultz. How interesting that people who live within two hundred yards of each other can have three very different visions.



Because Jeff is an artist, he has an innate understanding for color and contrast that define his garden. But he also has the professional experience of garden photography, and I think that also is very apparent. Jeff creates layers in his garden with light and dark, but also with hardscapes and containers as well as seating areas and open spaces.





Plants grow together to create new textures, better than the sum of their parts.




Jeff's not the only one who lounges in the this beautiful garden.








Join us tomorrow for Jeff's garden Part 2!
