It might have been a difficult task to take a city home on a corner lot off Forest Drive and design a garden for entertaining and relaxation, but accomplished gardener Hillary McDonald has created an environment that is private, yet inviting. At the front, mixed beds offer variety in texture and color. Hydrangeas, azaleas, dogwood, Shasta daisies, Japanese maples, and Abelia add color from spring through fall. Follow the driveway around the house to a butterfly garden with lantana, black-eyed Susan, and salvia. A cozy courtyard with a fountain joins ferns, ivy, and herbs and is furher accented with caladiums. At the end of the driveway, wax myrtles provide a screen into a spacious, shady garden perfect for parties and for McDonald's dog Maggie to play.
