A Garden of Magnificence

RiK contemplating his next work of art

The owner purchased land in 1995 in Chapel Hill to initially build a house. He later moved in 1997 from Washington D.C., and in 2000 began a garden on the backyard half-acre in stages. The owner collaborated with a local artist named Rik Hermanson, who designed the majority of the garden as it is today. Also of note is all the metal work by Ray Tolan – indeed it could also be called the Ray Tolan Gallery.
