A Tranquil Oasis
The original design of the Cheek gardens included three large ponds that served as reservoirs for their many water features, as well as the water supply for the house — these ponds now make up the Robinson Family Water Garden. The banks of the ponds are surrounded by shade-loving perennials and seasonal annual color. The sound of cascading water can be heard as visitors walk along a peaceful stream and examine the fern collection, hellebores, hostas, and heucheras.
