Garden 7 - Artistic Designs - 18 Northeast Shoreview Drive Lee’s Summit, MO 64064

This garden owner loves nature, and believes in working with, not against nature. Understanding the artistic nature of gardening is also important. In this garden, colors and textures unfold like a painted canvas, appearing natural, yet carefully planned. Plants for all seasons, vegetables and herbs mixed in the garden beds, areas of sunlight and shade, and art pieces are the perfect creative touches in this masterpiece of a garden.

Some of the garden’s most treasured elements have come from loved ones past and present. The pump used in the pond near the lake came from Granny’s backyard. A sculpture of a little girl with balloons was gifted by the garden owner’s son. A driftwood stump, beloved by a grandson, has now become the home of a beautiful clematis.

The garden owner is also an artist in choosing plants for the microclimate of the different garden areas. Irises that require little dirt, Missouri pickerel keeping dirt from eroding near the shoreline, colorful daylilies in the full sun areas, and hostas in the shade all serve a purpose within the overall picture of the landscape.

Wandering through this landscape offers views of color, texture, variety, purpose, and tradition. Everything is thoughtfully placed yet seems effortlessly in harmony with nature. This garden is truly a work of art.
