Rusty, our former Fire Marshal and Chief, and his wife, Suzi, designed this garden to be a refuge of tranquility. Years of angst in the 911 world motivated them to have a place of quiet and peace. To sit, listen to the birds (and they have a veritable aviary), and let the stress fall off their shoulders. Their home and garden are both. It is impossible to not relax while there and one is drawn to the outside space to feel its calming energy.
This year, their garden was honored as one of five in the Whidbey Island Garden Tour. With close to 800 tickets sold for the event, their garden got quite the visitation last Saturday! And most people made just these comments - tranquil, peaceful, calming. How wonderful to share one's work with others who "get it"!
Some pictures from their garden. A place of peace.
