How a century-old design philosophy breathes life into modern gardens
In short: Landscape contractor Jenn Nawada revisits a decade-old project to see how a historic garden has matured. This look at the long-term evolution of landscape design reveals how classical principles can create enduring outdoor spaces.

By revisiting the site ten years after completion, the video explores the transition from a planned restoration to a living, evolving landscape. It highlights the expertise of the Ask This Old House team, including landscape contractor Jenn Nawada, in preserving and protecting historic residential investments.
