Charles River Garden
Bordering one of Massachusetts’ most celebrated natural water bodies is a garden that embraces magnificent views of the Charles River and quietly merges with local ecology. New outdoor spaces respect the sensitive river ecosystem, and massive existing canopy trees guide low-impact stormwater management strategies. A multi-seasonal vegetation palette combines plants with extended flowering periods and low-moisture requirements to attract pollinators and enhance biodiversity. Fieldstone walls form terraces that connect interior and exterior spaces, and staircases traverse richly planted garden slopes. A swimming pool and spa provide soothing recreational opportunities and a sense of balance is restored to the property.
