Boulder
Lane, Historic Roland Park
Baltimore City, Maryland
If there is one thing I have learned about gardening
it is that your garden does not belong to you. It belongs
to nature. My husband and I have tried to control a
one acre hillside garden full of huge trees and wild
wisteria, creating many "garden rooms." On
Christmas morning 2003 a 125 foot oak fell across the
garden destroying much of one side of a carefully planned
section. We are now making lemonade out of lemons by
using the new sunlight in the garden.
Roland Park is a Historic
section located within Baltimore City. It was carefully
planned by Frederick Olmstead to have a "park like
setting."
