Mary’s. This beautiful church was built
in 1891 and moved to this location it’s current location in 1920. The master landscape plan was professionally
done, and is being implemented over time. Several church members are master
gardeners and are assisting other members in adopting specific areas for
maintenance. Do not miss the Children’s
Garden!

2 - A busy professional tends this urban refuge surrounding an
historic home. Beds strive to provide
year-round color with numerous heirloom shrubs (camellias, roses, etc) as well
as newer knockout roses. There is an
herb garden as well as an ancient camphor garden (over 100yrs old). Make sure to see the containers on the pool
deck and rear porch.
GARDEN
3 - This is a 25 year old garden filled with the owners
collected plants and art. Although partial to bromeliads, the owners’ nurture
orchids and large beds filled with an eclectic mix of heirlooms and newer
varieties. They have created a quiet
glen inthe
midst of the city. Check out the home owners pictures of the original yard to
gain full appreciation of their efforts.
GARDEN
4 - This is a fairly new garden. The owner has filled their
large home site with lush tropical plantings and palms. There is an inviting
side entrance that draws you to the rear yard. An orchid collection is near the pool.
GARDEN 5 - This garden will transport you
to the
Far East. The owner’s late husband
lived in
Japan
for several years and brought home Japanese lanterns as well as an appreciation
for the beauty of Asian design. There are numerous water features and garden
rooms. Dense plantings and unique, antique
fencing provide a calming seclusion. Allow extra time to absorb all the details found in this garden.

antique iron birds on each post. Her wonderful garden is filled with
an amazing collection of yard art and plants collected over 25 years.
Kay's yard reflects her deep love of art in all forms.
Ann Johnson welcomes us into her Asian garden through an iron gate and
fence from the early 1900's. It was salvaged from the Diocese of the
Central Florida Rectory in Winter Park. When you step through this
gate you enter an almost zen-like calm, serene, retreat that Ann and
Frank Johnson created together.
