designer/owner, the other an eclectic mix of propagated plants and repurposed or gifted items
creating a peaceful, colorful, and economical space. In Medford enjoy four gardens including a
shady, woodland space, a historic, Asian-inspired retreat, another filled with flower beds, trees,
and winding pathways, and a two-year-old garden designed for minimal water usage. Proceeds
