Thackeray Road Residence

Wellesley, Massachusetts

Making a garden for yourself brings its own set of challenges and rewards as it evolves through the years.

Viewed from the terrace, the large open space under mature oaks has dappled light and a distant view. Subtle grade changes add interest and contrast to

the landscape.

The long English style perennial garden that taught so much about the pleasures of gardening has been simplified to a quieter scheme with perennial groundcovers, boxwood and magnolias.

Unseen from the terrace, a cutting garden with flowering shrubs and perennials occupies the sunny slope at the lower lawn. A path leads through a woodland slope of native rhododendrons and azaleas to the top of a ridge. Adirondack chairs and a fire pit create a quiet sitting area overlooking wetlands.
