Private Garden Visit #2 : Linda's Garden in Elkins Park
The 1910 house sits atop a small hill and its diminutive garden (5,000 sq. ft.) has been 23 years in the making. The front yard features a large Japanese maple tree shading a rock garden on the steep bank. The north side of the house includes a path lined with a collection of hydrangeas and hollies. Tree peonies and oak leaf hydrangeas thrive on south side of the house. In the secluded backyard, a pond creates a serene oasis surrounded by mature evergreens, trees, shrubs, perennials and climbing roses. Numerous clematis vines wind through the roses and other supports. The deck and bluestone patio form garden rooms with seating areas and containers filled with annuals, tropical and succulents.
