Built in 1838, our antebellum home and 19th century gardens are a step into the past.

Playful grass cutting
I do not have a perfect lawn. I do, however, have well cut weeds that are fitting to an older landscape. I cut the grass in areas with an artful flair to identify walks/design to a garden while allowing some of the weeds to flower in the spring. It seems every week or so I get different flowers that otherwise would simply be cut. Less work- more beauty! In this space, I planted tulips in the mid 80's and I want them to bloom and then let the nutrients get back to the bulb. As summer approaches, I will cut everything as the weeds tend to get leggy and flop where I don't want them, but during the spring, cutting some areas whlie leaving others alone can create a wonderful space.
