Raining again today.
Our "waterfall" is racing over the steps by the gate and down the driveway. The water flows from our woodland garden, through the backyard, over the steps, and under the gate and down the driveway to the storm drain at the street. The storm drain in no way handles the water flowing through our yard and from up and down Tottenham Road ... the hazard of living at the bottom of a hill. The city has been out to see the problem, has surveyed, and even run a camera down the storm drain. At some point, the street will collapse we were told as the pipes are so old ... oh, boy! We are supposedly "on the list as a high priority" which means we are at least two years out!
MapleWalk is the private garden of Lib Jones and Tom Nunnenkamp in the SouthPark area of Charlotte, NC. While the garden derives its name from the over 90 different varieties of Japanese maples, MapleWalk is also known for its collection of dogwoods, redbuds, conifers, camellias, and colorful herbaceous perennials. With 1600 feet of stone lined paths, the steps, where necessary, are accompanied by sturdy handrails. Group guided tours are available by contacting: Info@maplewalkgarden.com
