Judith and Glenn Allen in Westport have taken a challenging corner lot and turned it into a very creative corner garden. To view larger images, just click on the image and then choose “back” to return to this page.

From their inviting side entrance you enter the back patio with hot tub and bar - perfect for entertaining. With its surrounding garden beds this is a delightful spot to rest and visit from spring through fall. A lush arbor creates a second inviting entrance to the back patio.

Approaching their garden from another direction, Judith and Glenn have successfully tamed a hot and sunny location where allium towers over masses of tulips in May, deep purple columbine is nestled among lush ferns and a flowering chestnut puts on a beautiful display.

By June these gardens will be full of iris and flowering peonies followed by dozens of daylilies.

In July the yucca stands out along with a wonderful combination of licorice and purple wave petunias.

Fall colours are dominated by the sedum ‘autumn joy’ in fall along with wave petunias and creeping jenny.
