The gardens of landscape architects Sharon and Craig Anderson create a magnificent sanctuary that is a combination of old and new, a synergy of natural and created beauty. These lovely gardens attract a multitude of wildlife and are framed by mature oak and shagbark hickory trees, carefully preserved from the original property. In the backyard, an expanse of shade gardens with woodland and native plants, sits between natural wetland areas. There is a gentle waterfall softly flowing into a pond with orange and white Koi fish swimming, as sunlight sparkles off the water with reflections of colorful flowers too numerous to name , each selected so that something blooms every season. Large rock outcrops are also a key design element. The inspiration for the tapestry of billowing grasses and perennials in their front yard was the natural style of design referred to as the "New American Garden," by landscape architects Oehme and Van Sweden
