We named Longshadow Gardens after the long shadows
cast by tall Oaks, Hackberries and Sassafras across our hill top meadow. Eighteen years ago, we purchased a neglected farm with breathtaking views, grottoes, waterfalls and limestone bluffs. |

After cleaning away the weeds, we planted Boxwood allees, Yew, Dawn Redwood, Bald Cypress, Roses, Prairie and ornamental grasses, rows of Lavender and billows of Nepeta. A tangle of old Hydrangeas was replanted into a collection to which we add new cultivars every year.

Garden ornaments are nestled as focal points in evocative settings. Mown grass paths and shaded walks lead through a carpet of woodland treasures including spring ephemerals, wild Orchids, Spicebush, Witchhazel, Redbud, Dogwood, Paw Paw, Persimmon and more. |
