SPRING 2019 63 its base, four quadrants are each devoted to plants of a specific color. "It was Ann Uppington's interpretation of an English wild garden," says Welch. The yellow bed hosts miscanthus or- namental grass, roses, hemerocallis (daylilies), and Hypericum. In the blue bed, vitex, baptisia, and nepeta dwell. White giant fleece flower (Persicaria polymorpha), yucca, Stephanandra, and dogwood (Cornus controversa) harmonize. The red section is dominated by Crocosmia 'Lucifer' and Spiraea 'Anthony Waterer.' But Christensen is continually adding ingredients. "Every Wednesday morning I arrive to find a group of shrubs and plants that Christensen has collected at nurseries. The chal- lenge and fun is to find places where the plants will thrive," says Finn. "The garden just comes together." Working in their favor is the incredibly fertile soil that was undoubtedly farmland in some previous incarnation. In fact, Tendercrop Farm cultivates adjacent fields leased from the local land conservancy. "The conservancy land makes the property feel so much bigger," Welch comments. But really, the conquest of their own space combined with the magic of many pathways winding through nearly seemingly wild plantings is the enchantment that renders the spot so beguiling. Recently, a screened hideout was added to the property's farthest reaches, and can be discovered only after a journey through a series of equally spellbinding settings. Getting there is half the fun.
