From: Glen Gate

The landscape designers purposefully chose whispy, purple and pink perennials to complement the setting's soft colors and feel. They then completed the space with a sitting area and fire pit.

Waterfront Sitting Area and Boats

Tucked amongst perennials, this small sitting area feels like a natural extension of this property's rambling garden. Boats and the water are a stone's throw away.
