Blossom Triangle

← Back to Garden

A sunny, open area near the stone steps anchored by the spectacular Ornamental Plum, which puts on one of the garden’s most dramatic early-spring displays. The triangular space frames the plum against the sky and provides a natural focal point visible from the house.
