Embracing the Landscape In addition to the evergreens and trees, the flowering component to the garden includes shades of white and purple to keep the palette fairly muted. “We interjected a few ‘wow’ moments with Globemaster and Purple Sensation Allium along the pool and in the front courtyard,” Abie says. These are followed by Verbena bonariensis later in the summer and there is an unexpected planting of wildflowers down the bluff overlooking the lake. In the five years that the family has lived in the house, the plantings have been able to mature and bask in their full glory. In a city where a frigid six months out of the year makes it difficult to enjoy the beauty of outdoors, all involved collaborated to create a stunning design that can be fully enjoyed for the six months that are entirely fabulous. n LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS Hoerr Schaudt LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR Mariani Landscape POOL CONTRACTOR Boilini Pool Company INTERIOR DESIGNER PA Design ARCHITECT R.
