" The final delivery of dwarf box woods from -- corner nurseries in Lebanon Connecticut will complete the landscape design. Steve Moore from architectural brass re installs the restored and polished brass hardware on the front door. The front porch restoration is complete and it really does return the Victorian grandeur of the main entrance. The restored balustrade with the gooseneck risers and turned balusters is painted out and topped with reproduction urns from Forester moulding. But the real crowning touch is the recreation of the missing balustrade this graceful curved railing really balances out the proportions of house. Rose bushes are always appropriate in the front garden especially in front of an old Victorian house and here we've got this. Beautiful collection of about a dozen that'll create a big mound in front. Celeste and Berry's newly restored front porch and -- who's done all the work here is a remarkable installer because he made the plan he did a beautiful drawing and here in the drawing we can see that the new landscape has respected the bones of the original Victorian design. As the plants mature the homeowners will have a very lovely front yard well Celeste and -- what's it feel like to have not only your front porch but the whole front garden restored. --"

Recreating a Colonial Garden

Bob and landscape designer Ruth Foster tour Mahoney's Garden Center, a local nursery, to discuss the elements of the project house's landscape plan. Foster's focus is on the pieces selected for the English-style garden that will be the centerpiece of the front yard. From the topiary's to the roses and lilacs, Foster offers insight into the style and features of a traditional Colonial-style landscape.

Tour of the Glen Magna Farm

Bob visits the Glen Magna Farm in Danvers, Massachusetts, with Kathy Gianoulos from the Danvers Historical Society. Owned by the Endicott family since the late 1800's, it was named after the Endicott family's ancestral birthplace in England. First stop on the tour is the summerhouse, built in 1793 by Samuel Macintyre. The exterior of the house is designed to look like masonry work, although it is actually wood construction. The back of the house features a beautiful rose garden, which is a faithful reproduction of the original. Next Bob and Gianoulos tour the Italian 8 garden, a Mediterranean style garden restored in the 1980's. The garden features a magnificent pergola, supported by marble columns that were purchased in the 1930's for $5 a piece. The estate's main house has also been faithfully restored, including the West Wing, which remains the oldest surviving area of the home.

Naumkeag Garden Tour

Bob returns to the Stockbridge, Massachusetts, landmark home Naumkeag for a tour of the elaborate gardens.

Landscaping in the Falmouth Affordable Housing Development

Bob joins John Druley at another of the Quaker Homes that is nearly completed and ready for landscaping. This home is virtually the same as the first-time homebuyer model that Bob visited under construction. Landscaping will be standard for all of the homes with gardens out front, a picket fence and rose bushes, a clamshell driveway, and cobblestone edging. Initially, the septic systems were problematic for Druley since the burden of eight homes with lawns on the groundwater system and adjacent salt ponds presented concerns for the enviromental review board. According to Title 5, denitrification systems costing about $7,000 apiece would be required for each of the homes. Druley proposed reducing the size of the lawns, using low-nitrate fertilizers, and passing the savings on to the two affordable homes in the development. This further reduced the selling price of the homes from $145,000 to $119,900.
