Garden 4 Mary and Charlie Weiland This enchanting woodland setting offers a successful recipe for integrating sloping terrain, a creek, and an abundance of mature trees into an inspired garden. Winding paths, a creek-side observation deck, re-purposed antiques and naturalized plantings create the picture of serenity.
