“De Splendore”

Giovanni Gioviano Pontano once wrote a poem “De Slendore” which describes the ideal garden for a Renaissance prince as a place for walking, hosting banquets, or as the occasion demands.

We utilized this wonderful concept as our garden theme.  The design creates a marriage between southern traditions and french influence. The idea of an early spring garden with southern elegance, reflecting beautiful magnolia and evergreen tree forms are elements of southern style.  Clusters of red berries of hollies for birds alike and open flowers of camellias and azaleas surprise your senses. The “De Splendore” French garden allows the view of sculptures, the distinct sound of flowing water, bouquets of colorful flowers and art while sitting, strolling or dining.
