Lion Garden

Lansing, NY
Woodland/shade garden, Meadow, Garden structure/sculpture, Water feature

Flowers welcome you from the moment you arrive. Entrance plantings embrace the street and line the brick driveway filled with hundreds of blooming perennials. The sound of flowing water emanates from three connected ponds containing lotus, water lilies, frogs, and koi. Large beds around the house are filled with perennials and dozens of planted pots grace the deck on the shady hillside.

The gardens continue down a steep, wooded hill, where borders of shade-loving perennials, groundcovers, and shrubs surround a gazebo and folly. Woodland trails lead to a small ravine below the garden. A wooden boardwalk meanders across the ravine and then a trail loops to a deep gorge.
