Irrigated by well, peaceful & relatively low maintenance, this colorful garden was designed to attract butterflies all year. Shade tress create dappled light all day while varieties of bamboo make gentle sounds. Need a project? Reclaim the koi pond & restart the fountains. NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE. New insulation in attic. Tented in past due to signs of termites but current WDO report shows treatment was effective + ongoing contract as well.
