Garden Tour: Unique Woodland Garden in Highlands Falls

Frank Langford of Memphis and Highlands will lead a tour of his magical garden. He is an avid gardener who has created over the years a space for shade loving native plants, including plants growing on the exposed roots of “nurse“ trees felled decades ago. Winding trails, ponds, bridges and stones are used in making this an enchanting garden. The property is bordered on one side by a narrow mountain stream and along the woodland garden by a small branch of the Ocoee River. The front garden has several large beds with Japanese Maples of several varieties and underplanting of ferns and other shade-loving plants. The driveway is bordered on the right by an Indian mound which is planted with native azaleas, day lilies and hostas. The back garden is sun filled with perennials and a central water feature in which a 1500 pound millstone “floats”.
