Ridglea North Virtual Garden Tour 2020

Featured: The Ebeiers on Locke

We live in our backyard year-round! When we bought our house we figured out, after replacing the grass three years in a row, we needed a new plan. We added the patio and fireplace and installed turf. We are now maintenance free and love it! We use the fireplace nine months out of the year. It’s the best thing we have done! ~Lynne & Bobby

Hi! We’re the Bruns Family. We want to show you around our back yard. A couple of unique features to our back yard we think you might enjoy are looking at how the automatic pool cover works and our playhouse tucked into trees and the garden. ~Lori Bruns

Featured: Joe and Matt's Garden 

We moved in two years ago and love Ridglea North! :-) When we first saw the house, it took a minute to understand how it sits on the lot. That’s why we included the aerial shot to show how the garden snakes around. The birds in the tree are three juvenile downy woodpeckers, playing one morning last year. We included photos of different years of annuals. We change the front beds the most. Pansies in the Winter, Summer, zinnias, periwinkle, rock rose and undecided for 2020! We meant to mention that Mark Nicol has the best grass. He is campaigning for everyone to do winter rye next Winter. The last shot is pansies thriving in Ridglea north! :-) Any questions about particular plants please let us know! :-) Thanks for watching! :-) ~ Matt, Joe, & Lucky

Featured Garden: Janis' Backyard Transformation

When we moved to this house I had a blank palette, as the back yard was just dirt. I had some ideas about how I wanted the back garden to look but was taking my time. A drainage problem gave me the necessary push, as our solution, from Elizabeth Anna, added a dry creek bed, a walking bridge, stone paths and some berms.

I wanted a wild garden with native plants that has a Cottage feel and would be both organic & water wise. I also really like direct seed planting.

After adding a few anchoring plants, with design help from Elizabeth Anna, I just started exploring flowers that would grow here. I also planted some herbs and artichokes and I’m big on bulbs.

Really I just focus on what I like (flowers & herbs), keep trying new plants, and let the success and failure of my plantings lead me. I like to think of my garden as painting with plants. ~Janis Jolcuvar

Featured Garden: Verlie's Coastal Oasis

I love the ocean & beach, but since I don’t live on the beach, I decided to create a coastal oasis in my back yard. I hope you enjoy a tour of my back yard. The hot tub serves as my “ocean” and the decor reminds me of where I can relax. ~Verlie Edwards
