Waterfalls: Just the Beginning

Moving water—a myriad of waterfalls, streams, ponds, and pools—unites this garden fantasy.

Even visitors who don’t know a melon from a marigold still delight in the thrill of a zip line, the lick of cool water, and cleverly hidden refrigerators stocking a full range of adult beverages. Jim explains his inclusive approach to garden design this way: “The role of a priest in giving a sermon is to feed the sheep and entertain the goats. That’s what I do here.”
