Guests will enjoy the experience of wandering through ingeniously cultivated "outdoor rooms" which highlight many creative combinations of plantings in different settings, including an Asian garden with an authentic hand-built Japanese tea house, an organic orchard, a native Pocosin habitat, poolside butterfly garden, and formal sun garden, connected by an alluring combination of cultivated allée, rustic handmade bridges, and arched passages. Sit and enjoy the garden’s many water features (including streams, fountains, and a formal reflective pool), and marvel at the variety of avian and amphibian visitors to this wildlife paradise. Sculptures from local artists, elaborate stonework and handsomely hand-crafted cedar structures enhance this unique garden experience.


Charming and intimate seating groupings (including hand-hewn from local fallen cedars) are nestled among the 5+ intensively-cultivated acres, and easily accommodate several hundred visitors amidst both sunny and shaded garden areas. The garden surrounds an architect-designed, beautiful home, built following the LEED (environmentally-sensitive) guidelines. Parking for large groups is subtly hidden thanks to the 10+-acre field, featuring multiple native grasses, shrubs and trees.
