“Live by the sun. Love by the moon,” set the tone for this multi-roomed garden. Each room features seating that provides unique serenity, day or night.
Arabesque pathways gracefully lead to each room where welcoming benches silently beckon you to savor the sound of the birds and the smell of the air. As you wander you will breathe in the scent of Madam Carriere rose winding up a pollard sycamore tree. The gentle breeze rustles the leaves into a whisper saying “explore deeper.” The path leads you to a terrazzo bench where the lush greenery and fresh air invite a respite to reflect. A wafting scent of lavender soon draws you into the summer room that is colorfully sided by lilacs among the cooling aura of hydrangeas. Passing next through the morning nook compels your commitment to greet the next new day seated in this very spot. Stepping further along the path brings you into the vegetable garden. Surrounded by olive and fruit trees, it seems that a small part of Tuscany has sprouted here. A short distance more reveals a handsome hand-crafted pergola. Adorned with wrought iron grape vines, this structure is topped with an oculus in the shape of the moon and stars - portent of the romantic moonrises its visitors will witness. This is an ideal dinner setting - not far from the fresh vegetables enjoyed during the evening repose.
This 1-acre garden was started some years ago by the capable hands of Gregg Lowery, who made sense of this land that was barren but for the strong tree anchors. He dotted the landscape with roses and other rare species. Gregg is known worldwide for his life’s passion - roses. He has propagated heritage roses, keeping them from extinction for us to enjoy. Karen Demostene has honored Greggs creation by adding to and nurturing this garden for over 2 decades. This property is truly a life’s work for many people, and for many more to enjoy.
