Homeowner Allen Logerquest “brought his own ideas to the garden,” explains Landscape designer Joseph Tyree, “like using the Buxus sempervirens ’Graham Brady’, which creates great vertical interest among the box balls in the herb garden.”
To brighten up a shady spot adjacent to the back dining terrace, Tyree used a variegated boxwood.
The garden plan. The drawings originally called for a driveway and garage, which were never built. “Allen doesn’t subscribe to all of the Hamptons ideals,” says Tyree. “He just parks on the street.”
A formal brick parterre and gently curving paths of the lawn.
White-leafed caladiums illuminate an iron bench in a shady nook off the herb garden, which is on an axis with the living room’s bay window.
Front and center in the brick-paved parterre is a Victorian cast-iron urn, regularly planted with Phormium ’Flamingo.’
