Prairie Garden
midland, MICHIGAN

This unique Prairie Style home, designed by Alden Dow, is surrounded by 15-acres of woodland and open space. It is home to families of deer and wild turkey making the creation of a visually attractive herbaceous garden quite a challenge. In six timed phases, the site was transformed from traditional foundation plantings to a lush four-season garden primarily utilizing native trees, shrubs, and ground covers. The design scale of mature plantings retains the house as the primary focal point of the property and insures screening and privacy for the home owners.
