Coastal Garden

Sydney St.

Nestled in Cambridge Port, this garden was designed to evoke the natural landscape of Wellfleet, a seaside locale special to the client. With its sandy soil, abundant sunlight, and exposure to wind and salt, the conditions were right for a maritime garden.

Drawing from Cape Cod’s native plant communities, we incorporated Red Cedar, Bayberry, Carolina Rose, and Beach Plum to anchor the garden. These resilient species are complemented by a vibrant mix of blue gamma grass and native perennials, like Old Field Goldenrod, Prickly Pear Cactus, and Pearly Everlasting.

To complete the beach-inspired ambiance, we fashioned a sunken sand area furnished with Adirondack chairs, inviting the client to unwind, connect with the coastal spirit, and sink her toes in the sand.
