Description:

“The Ornament of a House is the friends who frequent it.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. From the beginning, this house turned into a very special home. The soul of this garden cottage will speak to you if you will open your heart to it's memories of years gone by. It will speak to you of the love and care that went into the gardens and everything that leafs or blooms. It would tell you that the garden dirt was created with organic friendly attention and love. It will tell you that everyone and everything that breaths in its domain was given care and love. Over the years garden beds were cultivated gradually making room for laurels, irises, barberry bushes, tulips, nandinas, silver nettle. An azalea under the back pine tree, peonies and iris that smell so good in May, a service berry bush - a natural blueberry-like native Utah shrub drawing blue jays and other birds, a plum tree, grape vines, a maple lined driveway, burning fire bushes that glow in the fall. Adding a stone pathway leading to the vegetable garden - a daily reward in the summer to come home and see what could be made into a meal. One day twin baby boys with blue berry eyes were brought home to grow and thrive in the idyllic backyard and treelined neighborhood. On hot summer days they ran in and out of sprinklers and their kiddy pool to their hearts delight in the privacy of their little oasis while mom and dad enjoyed watching from the hammock hung between the large backyard trees. Friends, neighbors, and family came to celebrate their birthdays with big garden celebrations. The outside is drawn into the home bringing the sunshine and eye treats with large windows, adding a bright personality and lightness of mood. May this garden cottage welcome you and become a cherished space for your family and the next generation of love and appreciation.
