Seaside Garden

By Brian Vanden Brink
Design Credit: Horiuchi and Solien Landscape Architects.

Seaside gardens can be lovely but this one is particularly nice. Located near Cape Cod, its small scale and proximity to the water make a wonderful combination. The fence provides a sense of enclosure and the bench under the pergola is a perfect place to sit and watch the garden grow. Raised beds contain a mixture of herbs, flowers and vegetables. Charming! Designed by Kris Horiuchi of Horiuchi and Solien Landscape Architects.
