Nestled between the buildings, a series of terraced, circular planters engage visitors on multiple levels, providing much needed shade and a tactile connection to the vegetation. The formal order of the statuesque junipers frames the historic building entrance, a counterpoint to the voluminous and layered planting that defines the rest of the property.
