As we are dedicated gardeners, it is especially ironic that with all the many houses that Bob and I previewed before purchasing 965 Jeremy Swamp, not one of them had any gardens to speak of. This is probably fortunate as most "landscaping" is parochial at best, with a few Alberta Spruces, hostas or yews hugging the foundation in an embarrassing skirt of pine bark mulch. Not our cup of tea at all. But this property is remarkable in that there isn't even a single lilac or forsythia. (Bob refers to them a s "Mother's Day plants.) It truly is a tabula rasa, with many exotic mini-locales including a stream and a pond and a meadow and a few choice brown zones.
I did however, locate this one intentionally planted shrubbery, immediately to the left of the "equestrian facility". (Yes, we have one of those, too.) It appears to be a Chamaecyparis of some variety. It will have plenty of company this spring when we move many of our plants from our former address!
