Views through the garden gate and into the backyard.This entire property is a collaboration between the homeowner and Landscape and Garden Designer Jackie Nooney; who has quite the eye if you ask me! Apparently, this talent seems to run in the family. Her sister Jill Nooney and her husband own and also designed Bedrock Gardens in Lee, New Hampshire. Another fine garden previously featured on this page.

This view looks over Barrel Pond and the York River beyond.

I have never seen a garden so thoughtfully composed with regard to color. Everything flowed together. It was a garden designer’s dream. I really was blown away, and I used to do this for a living!
