Circling a large spring-fed pond, this garden was recently part of a nursery. A dry creek-bed of grasses, sedges and lilies meanders parallel to the pond and leads visitors into an arboretum of deciduous trees underplanted with cold climate shrubs and perennials.

A hidden gem, this area is an example of just how much one can do with a small space.
