The hyper-naturalistic landscape of the Brook Garden is fiction founded on fact, an amplification of existing conditions. The site, an overgrown field sloping away from the woods at the far end of the property, is a critical element in the drainage pattern linking neighboring properties. The garden is built around a fountain, a shallow 200' long brook that flows along the course of the natural swale, giving visible expression to the movement of stormwater on the site. From a source pool just inside the edge of the woods, water flows down through a field planted with tupelo and birch and into an open meadow where it eventually disappears below ground to be collected and recirculated back to the source pool. |
