A Peaceful Retreat

This shady garden located on Helen Street in the historical downtown district was the last home on the Lakes and Hills Garden 2015 tour. 

It is a very peaceful private retreat just blocks from the bustling downtown area. Foliage of all shapes, sizes and textures are nestled together beneath the shade of several large Live Oaks.

Varying shades of green and yellow create a calming space in which to relax or dine.

Even though the entire garden is mostly green, this gardener knows how to intermingle many foliage varieties to create an interesting garden. 

Groupings of several varieties of plants are masterly mixed together.

The back and side yards contain only foliage with a small patch of grass located only in the front yard. It's a wonderful mix of vegetation to keep one lingering along the bricked walkways.
