Stroll Through a Woodland Garden
Trees and Shade Gardening
7712 Harmony Ct., Wichita, 67209
The cabin style home, sounds of running water and the cool shade of 64 trees on this one-acre lot create a “Mountain Hideaway on the Plains”. A large bronze elk strikes a regal pose to greet you as you enter the garden, while nearby, several bronze deer statues play in the woodland garden. From the back patio enjoy the containers full of colorful annuals. A weeping white pine and Great Blue Heron statue watch over a small babbling brook leading to a koi pond with water lilies. Go for a walk down one of the flagstone pathways, where you’ll discover a variety of hostas, a Cedar of Lebanon tree, pecan trees, aromatic Eastern Red Cedars, and all this garden has to offer.
Other things to look for:
- You’ll be walking on some of the 13,000 brick pavers that were once part the old streets of Wichita
- Lush, shade-tolerant Tall Fescue turfgrass
- A wide variety of trees for Southcentral Kansas
- The history of the property, which used to be the old Brown Nursery in the 1950s
