Classic Mixed Border Garden
Shelburne Falls, MA
This classic mixed border garden in Shelburne Falls, Mass is beautiful and functional. It combines all the basic elements of an aesthetically pleasing, but practical and hardy, landscape design: stone, perennials, trees, shrubs, herbs, a barn, and a driveway.
This garden has it all: a mature sugar maple, a flowering hawthorn, native shrubs, perennial, and stone.
A close up reveals a variety of textures, shapes and shades of green. A barn is always a classic backdrop for any garden.
As the plants spill over into the path, they become purposely interactive. This is not a garden or landscape to be experienced passively.
This is the view of the tree, bushes, flowers, and shrubs from the top of the steps.
