This Hudson garden is a great example of designing with both sun and shade in mind. With approximately 2,000 square feet of garden beds, there’s plenty of room for different plants, textures, heights and colors to shine throughout the property.
Greenleaf’s Garden Design maintains the sunny areas with colorful perennials that really come alive during the summer. These early July photos caught the garden at a beautiful moment, with bright pinks, oranges and purples surrounded by layers of lush green foliage.
Move into the shadier areas and the garden takes on a completely different personality. Large, healthy hostas provide bold foliage and texture beneath the mature shrubs and trees, creating a cooler woodland feel.
With a garden this large, the goal isn’t for everything to bloom at once. It’s about creating changing waves of color and interest as the season progresses. Early July certainly put on a show!
