Come with us on a tour of the grounds of a 19th century farmhouse in Columbia County, New York, designed to be a modern interpretation of a country garden. Remodeled by Berman Horn Studio, the soft and romantic landscape retains structural blocking and shape.

The front door paint color is Van Gogh Yellow by Fine Paints of Europe.

Hydrangeas (L) and yellow Rudbeckia (R) that echoes the vibrancy of the yellow front door edge a path of stone pavers.

“All the colors are quite soft, with occasional pops of acid green, or a hot pink or orange.  Lots of dusty blues, lavenders, and yellows.”

One-of-a-kind vintage dining tables sit end to end on the patio.

Easy-to-care-for perennials bloom from spring through autumn.

A row of perennial Little Blue Stem Grass serves as a backdrop to the purple Russian sage.

Hydrangea ‘Annabelle’ will reach a height of 5 feet or more when the clumps mature.
