25 years of training as an artist and teacher has made me sensitive to and aware of arrangements and design. I am particularly passionate about oriental design elements. I think of my gardens and grounds as a laboratory for ideas and problems that I want to solve. It is also an excellent place for a client to visit and see my work... an organic portfolio!
The Pauline Sculpture and Moss Garden
I have been developing my Moss and Sculpture Gardens over many years and the installation
encompasses about an acre around the house and six acres
on the other side of a stream along with a natural forest walk.
The larger moss areas include oriental style rocks and ferns as accents
while the more intimate moss areas have small sculptures, tufts of wild grass, stones and sedum
integrated into the environment. Large ferns, hostas, day lilies, ground cover and
flowers are confined to more formal areas with larger metal sculpture. The walkways and trails around the moss and along the
stream are made of different materials and lead to a meditation area. Some areas have large stepping stones
with pea stones, smooth gravel or blue stones as fillers. Other areas have soil or
brick, pebble, and tile mosaics. |
