Enchanted Grove

PRESENTED BY: Blue Oak Patio & Landscape
Heavily screened along the outer edges, this garden provides an intimate feel while walking through the creation. You can “peek” through the forest in one location to gather a teasing glimpse of the features you will encounter inside. Once the guests arrive at the inner sanctum of the garden, they will encounter a small pergola, a unique art piece, and even a whimsical water feature. A walkable curved rock path leads you to a serene, fenced patio area where warmth resonates from the crackling fireplace. And an array of bright spring colors in flowers and foliage surrounds the entire garden.

 

Modern Hideaway

PRESENTED BY: Creative Roots Landscaping
Creative Roots Landscaping presents a sleek, modern garden perfect for young couples looking to freshen up their new home’s outdoor space. Step through a stone pillar entryway surrounded by Japanese cherry blossoms, azaleas, rhododendrons, and other colorful foliage. The short walkway opens to a slate gray paver patio with modern charcoal accents. A pergola with intimate seating sits in the center of the space with a tranquil water feature and garden filled with mixed annual and perennial plants on either side. A natural wood fence creates privacy and floating planter boxes filled with lush hanging greenery to complete the space.

 

Gardens of Eatin’ and Eden

PRESENTED BY: Landscape Design Solutions
Landscape Design Solutions presents a contemporary outdoor grilling and eating area with modern appliances, clean lines and a vertical garden of herbs and other greenery. Dimmable bistro lights strung beneath the pergola give the area a relaxed ambiance for dining and entertainment. The sound of falling water leads one to a hidden garden of colorful, fragrant blooming plants and lush foliage, and the focal point: a weeping Japanese maple cascading over a babbling waterfall. Escape the bustle of the crowds and sit along the natural stone walls while your senses take in the color, aroma, and sound of this setting.

 

Modern Farmhouse Oasis

PRESENTED BY: Oakland Nurseries
Oakland Nursery and Design Associates invite you to this farmstead that embraces a spa feel while maintaining rustic elegance. Pass the evergreens and willow trees to the “Silo” entrance. The framed view of the garden includes a waterfall. Moss wall art softens the fence along a path softened by blooming bulbs, rhododendrons, and azaleas. Winding past the stone-lined pool, you reach the farmhouse and pergola-covered patio. Enjoy a meal from the outdoor kitchen. Lounge in the hammock as the evergreens and crabapples create a cocoon of privacy. Enjoy some wine by the fire pit while soaking in your outdoor bath.

 

A Space for Sanctuary

PRESENTED BY: Peabody Landscape Group
Peabody Landscape Group presents a stunningly gorgeous backyard worthy of true outdoor entertainment, set with a modern yet rustic flavor. A heavy post and beam structure anchors the serene space where fine dining can take place as rain dances on the metal roof above. Surrounded by birch trees, arborvitae, flowering cherry, and crabapples, and bright annual and perennial color, the garden offers a taste of true sanctuary. Evergreen hedges and custom fencing surround the space and add privacy to the relaxing bathtub water feature. A small, cozy kitchen serves as a family gathering space while food and drinks are prepared.

 

Backyard Escape

PRESENTED BY: Riepenhoff Landscape
Riepenhoff Landscape invites you to get away from it all and join us in our Backyard Escape Garden. Secluded at the end of a tree lined walkway, our garden invites you to kick back, relax and enjoy the tranquility of your own private sanctuary. The soft bubbling sound of running water soothes the ear. Sweet fragrances emitting from the nearby plantings tantalize the nose and twinkling lights dancing in the surrounding trees delight the eye. Have a seat in a nice, comfortable chair and enjoy your beverage of choice and all the senses have been satisfied in our Backyard Escape.

 

Discovery Garden

PRESENTED BY: Seely's Landscape Nursery
Enclosed by towering evergreens on most sides, this path leads to a French country garden containing many boxwood hedges filled with colorful blooming perennials and bulbs. In the background are flowering shrubs that sit beneath a canopy of large weeping willows, blooming crabapples, and cherry trees. The paver stone walkway guides you to the relaxing backyard patio retreat. Step up to the large upper patio where you can enjoy the fire pit, seating area and overhead pergola. Behind the patio is the main feature of this garden, which consists of a large stone water wall, that provides a tranquil environment.

 

Rustic Retreat

PRESENTED BY: Union III Outdoor Living
Union III Outdoor Living’s garden showcases the design style and craftsmanship that has become so popular in the Central Ohio area. Our design highlights three private spaces that offer a variety of entertainment and relaxing experiences. Covered spaces are a must for families that love to cook outdoors and watch sports. With Ohio’s cool spring and fall temps, a fire pit area can draw your guests outside. Whether it be a gas or wood-burning fire pit it’s the hot spot to be on the patio. We’ve also included a private seating area to sit and enjoy the day and views.
