Garden of Ken and Margaret Uhle

This one-acre garden has been designed in a woodland setting among large glacially deposited rocks. A prominent feature of the garden is its man-made winding brook, which connects two small lily ponds bordered with blue flag irises, rushes, and other marginal plants. Woodchip paths meander through the garden, characterized by mature oak trees and more than 600 varieties of perennials, shrubs, and understory trees. In another location, a lawn area is surrounded by small groupings of bald cypress, dawn redwood, and flowering trees. Informal stone steps lead down to a seventy-foot plank boardwalk through plantings of cypress and tupelo. This garden has been designed, installed, and maintained by the owner, a landscape architect, and is a good example of what can be accomplished on a relatively small property.
