Ruth Foster, a landscape consultant, oversees the planting of the perennial flower border in the yard. Smaller plants fill in the front, moving to the tallest flowering plants in back. Foster has chosen deer-resistant plants like summer asters for the front, with echinacea or cone flowers behind. Foster has also selected a vivid, neon autumnjoy for the garden. She and Bob look at the early blooming magnolias that have been planted in the yard and the euonomous hedge that will grow to eight or ten feet and turn red in the fall.
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.
