GREEN DREAMS

Garden of Jan Nickel

Open Days

  Sunday, Sept. 13

This established twenty-five year old garden of quiet timeless natural beauty, gives a sensof permance upon entering the iron gates. These is a profusion of four-season color and texture woven in a tapestry of unusual perennials, shrubs and trees. A distinctive use of architectural elements creates illusions and expand the boundaries of ample compositions, while seamlessly blending living and outdoor spaces. Unanticipated twists and turns in garden paths create vignettes;while hidden pots, packed with unusual annuals, come into view. This artful designer’s garden has been featured in Woman’s Day:Garden and Deck Design(Fall 2004), Sidney Eddison’s book Gardens to Go, The Welcoming Garden by Gordon Hayward and Connecticut Magazine Best of Connecticut(Sept. 2007).

Above are some photos from previous years that does not do the garden justice.
