One of the most distinguished of the old houses of Georgetown has a majestic setting to match, big old boxwoods and trees, a grand lawn and now a pool and play area for a new family.

A serene and stately garden enhanced by handsome South Asian statuary. At one end a Balinese dancer, at the other beautiful big round Chinese pots flank a Cambodian Buddha. A stylish garden.

A lovely old Rose Greeley garden with terraces and flowing paths bordered by lavender. White roses, crabapples, a weeping pear and dwarf boxwoods, all watched over by a nearby bell tower.

A side entrance leads to a terrace enclosed by a low and curving fieldstone wall, creating a two level garden with a beautiful multi-trunk kousa dogwood. A clever window-paned mirror forms a backdrop.

This delicate small garden includes an arbor with sweet autumn clematis, a climbing hydrangea, and a New Dawn rose all lending a gentle country feel, with beguiling entrance plantings.

The circular steps from the upper terrace of this grand old house lead down past big hollies to a sloping lawn and a playhouse. Urns and planter boxes filled with seasonal color echo the purples and pinks of clematis and lilacs.

Something different for Georgetown: a private courtyard becomes the entrance to a garden that wraps around the charming house. A secluded porch with vines invites contemplation.

A challenging small space is treated with imagination and originality. It’s a wonderfully creative response to a narrow space by fearless gardeners using dark purple foliage, a chocolate mimosa, vines, sedum and more.
