Designing an Elizabethan Garden and Naturalistic Landscaping
Designing an Elizabethan Garden and Naturalistic Landscaping

Bob rejoins Ruth Foster on site to tour the landscape work in progress and see how the design has come to life. Foster outlines the major landscape features, including the orderly Elizabethan-inspired garden in the center of the yard, and the more naturalistic garden near the side of the house. The garden's plant choices are roughly positioned and planting is underway.

Review of the Landscaping Design
Review of the Landscaping Design

Bob takes a tour of the completed landscaping in this episode. Landscape designer Ruth Foster has created a Colonial-themed design. Foster chose to keep a magnificent white pine at the front of the yard and combined it with birch trees in the nearby less formal capability garden. Along the front of the yard Foster had planted a half dozen crabapples that will bloom white in the spring. The centerpiece of the landscape is the Elizabethan garden, guarded by two cedar trees at the front of the yard, almost like sentries. The garden itself is edged with flowers, such as rhododendrons and lilacs, as well as favorites like the roses. In addition, Foster has constructed a raised diamond-shaped bed with a topiary in the middle of the garden.
