“Ranchers offer great appeal because they are in scale with the garden,” says Rule. “A lot of the time, I’m designing the garden to try to hide the house. Not with this one.” This balance, and the sheer size of the property, spurred him to create gorgeous viewpoints of the house as the garden unfolds. From one small patio located at the far edge of the garden, the home appears as a natural element in the landscape. **An obelisk and low walls add structure to the exuberant herb border.**
