Laurelhurst Garden Featured In Pacific NW Magazine

In case you missed Sunday's Seattle Times' Pacific Northwest Magazine, the gardens of a Laurelhurst home were featured in an article titled "Laurelhurst garden gets a gracious new life."

The first and last paragraphs say:

A GREAT VIEW is about all Kevin and Jean Kelly's Laurelhurst garden had going for it when landscape architect Brooks Kolb first saw it.

The refurbished garden invites you not only to the front door of the house, but also to stroll its pathways. The lawn, which originally ended in a pinched point, now curves toward a splashing fountain. Halfway up the slope, the path widens to accommodate a private little patio. Here's where the Kellys relax and enjoy their new garden in every season.
