Arthur Savage bought a house with 1.7 acres of property in 1917 in what is now Fountain City, TN. He had quite the eye for design, and devoted time and money toward creating a premiere garden. Features include substantial structures, a 280' rock wall, trees, shrubs and flowers. It's heyday was in the late 1920's. With Arthur's death in 1946, this garden fell into disrepair and was neglected. In 1986, an energetic couple bought Savage Garden with the hopes of restoring it back to its former grandeur. It has far exceeded expectations. Annette Shrader leads us on a tour with one of the property's owners, Bill Dohm.
A visionary and energetic gardening couple planned and plotted their dream garden for their large backyard space. That was more than 30 years ago, and we have the pleasure of touring these mature garden beds, and seven spectacular water features. The realization of their vision is inspiring.
Marty DeHart gives us a detailed tour of a landscape she designed. The client wanted to experience a sense of seclusion from the close neighbors, wasn't big on flowers, and needed a dog-friendly space. This design contains quite a stellar plant palette in which to draw inspiration.
