Creating 5-10 feet of defensible space around a home is key. After directly addressing the home's vulnerabilities to collecting embers, we planted low-lying, mostly-native foliage to protect the home from rolling embers. Should the home catch fire, this space also gives fire fighters safe space to address issues. Photo: Lesly Hall Photography

Peonies in the foreground; elderberries; ornamental grasses; beautiful seed heads left in place to capture dazzling sunlight. The evergreens truly play together - outstretched limbs of spruce in ice blue, feathers juniper boughs taking flight in silver green. The panic grasses send up pink seed heads in mid summer, the leaves become burgundy, early autumn. Always change and evolving amid the seasons in a well designed border.

In this country garden, we renovated the shores of the pond and created a wooden island to which floating wooden paths lead. Planted the edges of the garden. Added high-altitude wooden terraces at the edge of the forest. We placed sculptures in hidden corners. Created a rural fairytale garden.
