Two paths diverge in this yard. A more formal bluestone path provides the most direct route to the pergola-covered social lounge. The casual Wisconsin limestone stepping-stone path takes a more circuitous route by way of a special bench. That spot fulfilled Melanie’s wish for a serene meditative spot in the yard.
The shade-loving woody plant palette includes BOBO panicled hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata ‘ILVOBO’), ‘Limelight’ panicled hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’), Korean spice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii) and Canadian hemlock (Tsuga canadensis).

A natural stone pathway winds around the rain garden. The rain garden collects rain water so it soaks into the ground gradually. This keeps excess water from running off into local waterways.
