Habitat

Shady Oasis

Medford, MA

A deep-shade backyard transformed into a lush woodland retreat. Layers of native ferns, astilbe, solomon's seal, and wild ginger create a cool green sanctuary beneath mature trees. A simple stone seating area provides a quiet spot to enjoy the garden, surrounded by the sounds of birds drawn to the understory plantings.
