The long sunken garden with gravel paths sits 4 feet below the house. It’s protected from the ceaseless coastal winds by low retaining walls, a row of purple-leaf plums, a 7-foot-tall retaining wall at the far end, and a Hicks yew hedge behind rammed-earth columns. A lion’s head fountain spills water into a rill leading to a rectangular pond aligned with a window in the home. The retaining walls have a poured-concrete coping tinted greenish blue to harmonize with the home’s teal windows. See more of this garden and three others designed by Gary Ratway in the Spring 2018 issue of Garden Design. @diggingdognursery Photo by @clairetakacs
