The Rock Ledge Garden

This garden was installed as an effort to address a problematic slope on the property and has turned into a beautiful display in its own right.  Plantings are of the rock garden variety as well as other flowering perennials which are placed on a slope in a stepped fashion down a rock wall.  We currently have drought tolerant perennials and interspersed annuals filling the spaces of the rock ledge.  A small patio and bench provide a resting spot for visitors and volunteers.
