2023 LAKE FOREST SHOWHOUSE & GARDENS GARDENER’S TREASURE CHEST GEMINI DESIGNS emini Designs is known for their classic approach to landscaping - particularly with garden elements. This garage space has been transformed into a European Garden Flea Market. We have displayed for purchase a small taste of the treasures we’ve been collecting and can now be added to your home and garden. Many items are one-of-a kind, aged or vintage, but there are also objects that can be ordered for you. In addition to the live plant, or realistic faux botanical, plantings we do, our floral facade installation above the garage door is another specialty of ours. We hope this last spot of the tour leaves you inspired and excited for gardening. These treasures are available for purchase and we are glad to be supporting the Infant Welfare Society with a portion of each purchase going towards this wonderful organization.

2023 LAKE FOREST SHOWHOUSE & GARDENS MAIN ENTRANCE GARDENS ARCHITECTURAL GARDENS, INC. s visitors arrive at the front entry, they are greeted with a welcoming courtyard garden designed by Architectural Gardens. Planting balanced boxwood hedging at either side of the front door gives the entry structure and seasonal interest year-round. The white flowering Tina crab trees offer upright contrast to the boxwood and grace the front door with its delicate form. Having a home with formal architecture, the windows on either side of the front door are balanced with boxwood floating in the existing mature groundcover ivy. The shaded courtyard faces North, so long blooming flowering hydrangea were planted under the existing Crab trees to offer color in the summer months and brighten up the foundation areas. The outside front foundation includes additional structural height with Star Magnolia and Scented Viburnum to soften the corners. A layering of spiraea gives added textural contrast to the ivy. A well-kept clean planting design using a combination of evergreen, flowering shrubs and trees give the courtyard garden the benefit of looking good thru all the seasons.

2023 LAKE FOREST SHOWHOUSE & GARDENS EAST COACH HOUSE FRONT GARDEN GARDENS IN PROGRESS n the design of the “Cottage” we found that using existing material can be very effective. The existing landscape stones surrounded by stonecrop sedum, foundation yews and a mature amelanchier will be enhanced by plantings of wooly thyme and sweet alyssum for fragrance. In the bed to the south, a specimen tree Magnolia Lilliflora X. “Betty” will be underplanted with a carpet of woolly thyme and flanked with sweet alyssum, digitalis and an early blooming nepeta. Finishing off the design approach to the cottage will be varying size boxwoods in antique terracotta pots. BART HEBERT NIKOLL TAYLOR www.gardensinprogress.com P.O.

2023 LAKE FOREST SHOWHOUSE & GARDENS GRAND LAWN TERRACE ROSBOROUGH PARTNERS, INC. he newly renovated grand lawn terrace is a worthy equal to this architectural gem. Taking its proportions and rhythms from the home’s proportions, the main lawn terrace is a counter part to the living room providing a large outdoor event space. Flanking the terrace on either side are two intimate gravel sitting areas, eventually covered with iron pergolas laden with wisteria, again taking from the home’s flanking library and dining room, punctuated at the corners with four large ornamental Pear trees giving height to the home’s lower roof. Creating a strong east west axis from these sitting areas are two cutting gardens filled with Peonies, iris and other perennials giving both seasonal interest and definition. By positioning the space further out into the yard, a wonderful boxwood parterre fountain garden becomes a main focal point from the inside and sets up another east west axis to relate to the future pool garden to the east. Bluestone walkways and steppers act as outdoor hallways linking the various exterior openings and allowing for smaller intimate spaces to develop off the library, dining room and kitchen. The overall simplicity and elegance of the garden maintains a harmony with the architecture allowing for the garden to just be while providing a setting for the home that has been long overdue!

2023 LAKE FOREST SHOWHOUSE & GARDENS SOUTH SPRING GARDEN NORTH SHORE TURF INDUSTRIES he owner’s love of formal gardens, spring flowering trees and shrubs, and her collection of 19th century garden statuary have inspired the transformation of the south garden. Visible from most rooms in the house, this garden will provide a changing palette throughout the year. The arched boxwood hedges, anchored by a pair of Crabapple trees, create a framework for “the Four Seasons”. The horizontal lines of the boxwood echo the horizontals of the hedge at the back of the garden and the prairie to the west. Flowering trees and shrubs are scattered throughout this woodland garden. In the spring allium and daffodils fill the woodland. Multiple varieties of hydrangeas bloom in mid to late summer. Beds with masses of woodland perennials have been created and native flowers at the western portion provide a transition to the adjacent prairie.

2023 LAKE FOREST SHOWHOUSE & GARDENS WEST COTTAGE FRONT GARDEN GEMINI DESIGNS estled down the hill from the main house, this charming stone and brick building needed a terrace for enjoying a sunset view overlooking the prairie. Partnering with JMR Landscaping, Gemini chose Indiana Limestone to frame a crushed gravel patio. Causal elegance was achieved with standard topiary Crabapples, boxwood hedges and roses that compliment the formal plantings of the main house. Clusters of planters, cast from English Lead Antique originals, are planted with classic seasonal annuals. A long table in the center of the patio provides a great spot for the unique teak bowl centerpiece. This terrace is a great spot to relax and enjoy the views of the wonderful acres of prairie to the west.
