STAFFORD RETREAT

Tucked in the winding hillsides of West Linn, the front garden at 19610 is a secluded retreat featuring dancing patches of wild flowers and blooming perennials. The understory sits in a grove of honey locusts and zelkovas, framing views both into and out of the meadow. The garden was designed to facilitate an entertainment space with passersby. It is a place for respite and can be experienced in the pathways that guide one through the garden, as well as a looking garden observed from the raised deck at the heart of the space.
