A Pass-Along Garden
Charlotte and Tom Newby
2110 North Lakeshore Drive
This lakefront home is approached through a courtyard framed by brick gateposts and screened by shrubbery. The long 
drive is flanked by tall loblolly pines and smaller trees, including native big leaf magnolias. Unusual shrubs include an eight-year-old stand of bottle brush buckeyes, a native variety. Birdfeeders with ingenious squirrel baffling devices mark the end of the drive and its opening onto the expansive back lawn with its superb view of Eastwood Lake. Much new landscaping has been done, but mature trees remain, including a stand of forty-foot pines providing an open screen through which the lake can be viewed from ground level or from the screened balcony. Planting include many treasured pass-along plants from former owners, family and friends. As those pass-along plants grow, so do our memories of those who provided them.
