Join the Heights Garden Club for our April Garden Tour: Melly McCutcheon’s Garden at 1128 Harvard

Melly McCutcheon’s garden is at 1128 Harvard. She is a 3rd generation gardener from Georgia. Her garden reflects a blend of her mother’s whimsy and her grandmother’s taste for formal flower beds. The combination ended up with an actual metal “flower bed” in her yard and a formal sitting sofa blooming with flowers and a huge chicken painted with a Monet style pattern. The backyard took 8 years to complete. First, a paver walkway with a flower design patio was installed. Then her friend, Lisa Owens, from Georgia painted the mural on the garage wall. Stone walls edge the flower bed and slowly plants were added. The final touch was adding the quote from Wordsworth to the Juliette balcony, “A poet could not but be gay, in such a jocund company”. Her mother in law loved William Wordsworth and when she passed, Melly dedicated the garden to her with the homage of 1,500 bulbs! Melly feels her garden brings her closer to the people she has loved and who influenced her the most in her life.

Don’t miss this opportunity to marvel at this gorgeous garden that is clearly grown with love.
