Aquatics! When we got the call to transform a lake into something worthy of a botanical garden, we didn’t hesitate. We jumped at the chance to create something truly magical.
This project was designed in multiple zones. Within the water, we focused on species like water lilies and pickerelweed. Along the shallower edges, we incorporated canna lily, crinum string lily, giant papyrus, soft rush grass, and more.
Beyond the waterline, we layered in native hibiscus, umbrella papyrus, butterfly ginger, horsetail grass, salvia, native milkweed, and other complementary plantings.
Our goal was to create a habitat that attracts butterflies and dragonflies, with the added benefit of helping control mosquitoes.
This project required extensive research, careful planning, and days of sourcing the right species, followed by thoughtful installation in each zone.
We absolutely loved bringing this vision to life and continue to maintain and enhance the property, always looking for new ways to add beauty and uniqueness.
