The Paisley Garden
The Garden of Julia Kornegay and Alfredo Escobar
5237 Leiden Lane Raleigh
A groovy garden to be sure! Paisley patterns presents well to the visitor allowing one to meander through the paths never far from the sound of water.
The stone-bordered pond, with a stream and waterfall, is at the heart of this garden. The sound of water attracts wildlife and soothing all those who visit. Paths carry the visitor around the paisley beds and into and out of the woodland gardens.
On a corner, one acre lot, Julia and Alfredo’s passion for plants and designed are well utilized. Fashion forward design (or is it nostalgia?) has this couple presenting a front yard vegetable garden including tomatoes, potatoes, onions and a sweet English knot herb garden. The borrowed landscape makes this property seem larger than it is.
With plenty of seating dotted throughout the gardens, take the time to sit a spell and enjoy the views.
