Grossinger Garden
August 29, 2006

This Japanese-inspired garden in Whitehall, Pennsylvania was designed by Joanne Kostecky Garden Design. Six years in the making, a backyard swimming pool was removed, soil brought in to build height, ponds and waterfalls were created, and tons of moss-covered boulders were carefully placed. The result is a peaceful and meditative garden.
