The Gardens are created in a cottage style to include as many perennials and flowers as possible. Our butterfly garden planted last year attracted so many butterflies that you had to keep your mouth shut or get them in your teeth.

Summit "Summit" (pictured to the left),an 800 pound carrara statuary marble piece by Barbara Rheingrover, has been installed on the island in our koi pond. It was carved in Italy out of the same quarries that Michelangelo's "David" came from. Click here to see more of her work on our site, or you can visit her website.

Archway

A special part of our garden and sculpture collection is the "Garden of Peace". We have designed the paths in this herb garden in the shape of a peace sign, and designated it to be a place for sculptures with a theme of "peace". The entrance is framed by "Time Passage" by Virginia Bullman and LaNelle Davis. This two-piece sculpture has a perfect symbolism when you realize that the passageway between them represents "change".

More fun in the garden is seeing our growing collection of bantam chickens, pheasants, and peacocks. The "chicken-condo" runs down one side of the garden and provides authentic crowing sounds for all who venture out there.
