Building on the Past

The new Flossmoor homeowners of this midcentury modern house have been busy building on what the two previous owners had done. They immediately started to improve on the existing pagoda, Zen garden and winding path by adding trees, shrubs and hundreds of perennials. 

A Beautiful Sanctuary

This 5-year old, East Hazel Crest, three quarter acre property was a clean slate for these artistic gardeners.  They have created garden rooms for reading, tea and just sitting still taking in the beauty and sweet fragrances.
 

Stately and Elegant

The challenge was met to create a outdoor space with a variety of heights, shapes, colors, and bloom times, so that the homeowners and their guests could enjoy this mature garden in Flossmoor from spring through fall.

Organic Beauty

Come see what grows in sandy loam soil which at one time was part of a shoreline.  This unique garden in East Hazel Crest features pathways, rock gardens, garden art, and daylily’s and hosta’s galore!

The Big Easy Meets Abe Lincoln

Drawing from her life in New Orleans, this gardener and her husband have built this garden for over thirty years. This Olympia Fields garden includes a pond, trails, numerous perennials and features a statue of John Coltrane playing a bubbling saxophone. 

From Challenge to Charm 

This half-acre lot in Olympia Fields had its challenges, extensive shade and course clay soil. But these two homeowners took on that challenge with a bit of help from professional garden designers and added color and texture to those tough areas much to the joy of the whole neighborhood.
