Together we transformed a very plain property with lawns and ordinary patios to now include multiple stone patios, retaining walls and steps, pergolas, a vegetable garden, a berry garden, an orchard, an alpine rock garden, herb garden, a pool area, shrub borders and meadows. The first owners Malin/Goetz, and now owners Sodi-Williams, played an active role in the development of the design. Pam Degeyter and now Judith Meier are the gardeners who created and cared for this garden. This property has been featured on two Garden Conservancy Tours as well as multiple publications including Better Homes and Gardens Gardening for Health and New York Cottage.
