Can a pie-shaped yard with shared sidewalk and street views offer privacy while still providing open, lovely views for passersby? This garden proves it is possible. Besides being beautiful,  a wide variety of annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees delight those lucky enough to be in or outside the garden area.

The garden owner has planned the landscaping with two views in mind. Looking out the window from inside the home and looking into the yard from the street are different yet equally inviting. Rather than planting a hedge along the street, berms of varying heights provide privacy while not blocking the view in or out of the garden space. A gravel path from the deck area leads to a shaded, charming water feature. This area of the garden is secluded, and the sound of the water masks traffic noise.

Being an opportunistic gardener is not an issue. The yard has areas of sun and shade, so the garden owner has the luxury of finding a variety of plants and being able to find just the right spot to place them. There is also a custom potting bench, compost bins, and a vegetable garden large enough to feed the family. The variety of plants and uses in the garden are equal.

Thinking of a garden space as being both private and public is unique. The garden owner has created a functional, beautiful space that can be enjoyed by all, inspiring a distinct perspective on a typical, suburban lot.
