“Innovation Within Tradition”

The work of Ben Page and Associates LLD con-sciously touches on a strong base of traditionto produce residential landscapes in which his-tory informs a sophisticated, contemporary aes-thetic. “…gardens speak to the senses. Theirsis a visual, tactile, fragrant language… Withevery season, its characters form and re-form inan intricate interplay of colors, textures, andshapes. Our role is to weave a fresh plot witheach garden we design. Utilizing classic princi-ples handed down by centuries of gardeners,we create a theme for each garden. To commu-nicate drama. Or, perhaps whimsy. Clear twiststhat pique the imagination.”

“Gardens to Go: Portable Color”

Sydney Eddison brings her exquisite sense ofcolor to container gardening. Eddison showshow to use containers to punctuate a garden,create garden rooms, or invigorate a tired area.Key to her approach is her sense of texture,color and scale.

“Practical Aspects of Container Gardens asGarden Features”
