Montrone Legacy Gardens

August 8th, 2013

This week I had the special opportunity to spend sometime outdoors as I was taken on a landscape tour guided by Alyson O’Steen with Pendleton Design Management. Finished just over one year ago, Pendleton took on this project for a client in Holladay. It has now been given the name Montrone Legacy Gardens and will soon be published in the Smithsonian! Taking only a few months to complete – an amazing feat to say the least – Pendleton has transformed 2.5 acres into a stunning retreat for their clients. The landscape is filled with numerous treasures, not to mention bonsai trees that age over 100 years old! Many full grown trees, one being over 50 years old, were specially brought into the garden as well. Another spectacular feature is the sequoia tree pieces that have been placed as a pathway throughout the garden. As you can see, the garden has a magical and whimsical feel that is enhanced by great lighting designed by Hammerton. It is truly an extraordinary “little” haven!
