A garden that leans gently toward the wild, where structure and softness coexist in quiet harmony. Overhead, the elegant tiers of Cornus controversa and the delicate, out-of-season blooms of Prunus x subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’ form a high canopy, their branches casting dappled light onto a textured understory below. Here, grasses like Deschampsia cespitosa and Hakonechloa macra billow softly, catching the breeze and shifting with a fluidity that animates the space. Among them, the bold presence of Aruncus dioicus, Eupatorium mac. ‘Atropurpureum’ and Aralia cordata lends height and seasonal drama, their foliage and flowers bringing a certain lushness to the scene.

Lower still, the ground is stitched together by Galium odoratum and Asarum canadense, weaving at the feet of the emergents, binding the composition with their quiet persistence. A single steel water feature sits like a mirror among the planting, calm and unadorned, catching light and reflecting the shifting palette of the seasons while offering birds a place to bathe.

Toward the rear, a generous seating area is held apart by a central bed of planting — not as a division, but as a soft threshold — a place to pause and breathe, held within the garden yet apart from it. It is a space of immersion and retreat, where wildness is embraced not as disorder, but as a rich and living language.
