The Dunhaven garden in Atlanta

This past fall I was fortunate enough to attend the GWA | The Association of Garden Communicators Conference in Atlanta. Part of the long weekend is touring gardens. This garden, a private residential garden named Dunhaven, was the very first one our bus hit up. It set quite a high bar for the rest!

It was in a wooded setting, with no neighbors visible.  My favorite feature was the stone arbor, above, that led to a forest path. Below are other great features in their garden.

The owner was kind enough to provide us with a map of the property. I've been wanting to do one of these for MY garden.
More shed porn. Love the Dutch door! To the left is a path going into the woods laden with garden sculptures.
One of the many sitting areas which can be found pretty much on all for (or more) sides of the house.
Another sitting area with fire pit and stone benches.
Little touches were all over the place.


Another side of the house, all the way around the house if I remember correctly.


At Christmas time, they put a Christmas tree in this gazebo.





I always appreciate an espalier.
A living basket!




An antique lawn roller. I think my grandad had something like this.

The driveway bridge the owner built himself. It's a cattle-type bridge that deer will not walk on. The rest of the property is fenced. He said damage by deer is nearly nil.

  2. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
