Holly Scudder-Chase’s Garden
Holly describes her perennial and wildflower gardens as four movements of a symphony, expressed in an exceptional variety of flowers and foliage. Each movement flows into the next, transitioning through four stages of harmonious colors, textures and sizes beginning in early spring.
Her philosophy derives from an English garden which she describes in loving detail, focusing on complementary and contrasting colors and scents of the many types of flowers and foliage that thrive in Vermont’s climate. She points out that her plants are animal friendly, providing nourishment for birds and some hiding and resting places for the cat that pops in and out of the video - and audio!
