3487 Bowling Green Way - The Wingfields • Garden Only!
Laura, Todd, and Ryan Wingfield have lived in Laura’s childhood home on Bowling Green Way since 2010. They invite you to tour the beautiful outdoor spaces surrounding the house.

Laura’s mother, Claire Brannen, lovingly tended the grounds until her death in 2009. Laura remembers that the pine isle in the front yard seemed less spacious when she was younger and the backyard was merely a grassy plot with metal fencing.

Over the last two decades, after she retired, Claire created a secret garden in the back yard, where she transformed a grassy landscape with a few plots for vegetables and daisies into a quiet spot filled with old-fashioned honeysuckle, hydrangeas, gardenias, hostas, and a variety of flowering bushes, vines, and trees.

Claire also turned her attention to the pine isle in the front yard and added a bridge over the small stream that runs through it — as well as a space for tea parties, with a tree trunk as the table and tree trunk slices as seats!

Laura has followed her mother’s passion for gardening, and many of the plants you’ll see are gifts from family and friends, including Hoe ‘n Hope Garden Club members.
