The garden of Cheryl Briggs’ home at 160 Scenic Drive is the Ashland Garden Club’s July 2016 Garden of the Month. It has water features in two places among a small forest of shady trees. Previous owners installed the recirculating waterfalls, stream and ponds on a steep lot. Briggs has owned the home for five years. She added the steps, walkways and driveway with design help from Jeanine Strum of The Seasons Color. Briggs has weekly maintenance help from Carol’s Colors. A major project in the recent past removed ivy from the slope leading from the street. There is a stunning view of the valley and hills to the east from a deck that has huge pots with masterful combinations of small plants. Rhododendrons and azaleas abound in the shady areas. Also featured are Japanese maples and camellias. The major trees are Douglas fir and cedar. A photinia hedge lines the street. Elsewhere in the garden are a Cecile Bruner and Lady Banks roses, dogwood, wisteria, magnolia and madrone. Ruth Sloan is a member of the Ashland Garden Club.
