 | | Michael and Judy Steinhardt’s garden is an extreme case of two, often contradictory, desires familiar to many gardeners: the impulse to collect and the long for harmony. |
 | | Since Japanese maples are understory trees, happiest in light filtered through high canopy trees, the Rocherolles' inspiration was to carve out a home for them in the already existing mature native forest of tulip trees, swamp maples, and fl birch. |
 | | Beneath the maples is a ground cover of moss and sequences of flowering woodland plants - massed hellebores, bloodroot, woodland peonies - carefully managed by Jerome Rocherolle's sister, Caroline, who designed the flower plantings throughout the garden. |
