Gardens Design

The Halvorson Design framework for the 3 parcels on the Greenway includes a wide array of plant material. Trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and bulbs will all be showcased in the project. Containers and seasonal plantings will be used to enhance the site and complement the plants in the ground.

The design features bold presentations of color and texture consistent with the public setting on the Greenway.

The gardens are anchored by numerous award winning shrubs and perennials that have stood the test of time. The Greenway Gardens will also provide an ideal setting for plants that are new to the horticultural world, some of which have never been seen in New England.
