For their collaborative book, “I was looking for gardens with personality. We really wanted to make sure that each garden reflected the owner’s or gardener’s vision and personality. It was remarkable to see the variety of different gardening styles,” Cardillo said. There is one key element, Juday notes, that’s missing from Carpenter and her husband Steve Donegan’s garden — lawn grass. Brick, gravel and stone-made paths wrap around the garden, where one can even take a seat to view the seasonal blooms or the industrial-style art that complements the garden’s ornamental plants., as Juday puts it, is full of large, “well-built” structures made for investment bankers, lawyers, stockbrokers, and others of a similar elk.
They spent days scouring through Philadelphia and Delaware Valley antique shops, and applied the same level of “connoisseurship” to their home garden as they do to their art. Each item, whether plant or object, was handpicked to meld with the other works sprawled throughout their grounds., the couple installed hardscape, perennial beds and a pond.
Under the canopy of the garden’s tall trees, seen thriving are shade-tolerant plants such as hydrangeas, rhododendrons, daphnes. Along with the lush scale of plant life, stone columns and several statues are placed throughout the Chestnut Hill plot.Nature has certainly been nurtured in Coatesville, and the proof is in the pastures.
The gardens continue to be tended, with the stalks of red hot poker and the blossoms of a bush clematis continuing to bloom and grow. The Thouron-era beech trees still stand, while some of the architecture — purposefully left unscrubbed and stained — is fixed to look worn with age.chapter, Juday recounts the story of Suzanne Penn. The Bay Area native is usually outside her Northwest Philadelphia property by 5:30 a.m., devoting her early mornings to pruning, weeding, and staking her plants.
