Have you ever lost something, done some cleaning, and found it again? Well, imagine that on a huge scale. A little over 6 years ago, Karri and David purchased a 5 acre parcel of land that had been completely neglected for at least 12 years. They began diligently eradicating blackberries, forming new flower beds, pruning trees and low and behold, they unearthed an entire orchard that had been engulfed in blackberries. They now have plum, snow apple, pear, cherry, and nut trees all saying “Thanks” to the Streets by providing them with an abundance of fruit. During all of their spare time (Ha-ha) they are also prolific artists who create mosaics and fresco painting to decorate their garden. You will see their work as you explore the garden: embellishing arbors which David also made, stepping stones and paintings on the house. What an inspiration to know that 2 hardworking, creative and industrious people have, from an overgrown mess, carved out a piece of paradise for themselves… and invited us to enjoy it too!
Karri’s garden was featured on the Whatcom Horticultural Society’s 25th Annual Tour of Private Gardens in June 2011.
