The Horgan Garden

Waterfront Rain Gardens/Keyport Green Team

Waterfront Rain Gardens/Keyport Green Team

 Louise Horgan welcomes you to her peaceful, private garden and wildlife refuge between busy Front Street and the Raritan Bay. The garden was created from a junk and weed-filled vacant lot in 2000 and has gone through a number of designs and remuddles, often driven by floods.  She talks about the transformation of the ever-evolving haven, her relationship with weeds, and the rejuvenating joys of gardening. Plenty of perennials, evergreen plants, and cherished clover, thyme and forget-me-nots and, from the deck, a view of the entire garden, the bay, and the NYC skyline. Seabirds and songbirds, the playful dogs “guarding the garden” – enjoy it all. Tour now.

Karen McBride's home shows you what can be done with a shore home with a smaller yard.  There was so much to learn at this garden.  Have a pergola but really want more shade?  How about making a grape arbor out of it? And harvesting it for your own wine?  Have an old dog bowl?  with a fresh coat of paint...it's a planter! Can't wait to see this garden in person next year! Tour now.

The McNamara Garden

The front feature perennials and a rain garden with swamp milkweed and plants that have wet feet. The McNamaras employ several rain barrels and enjoy water collection.

One lovely area is actually not flowers, but the grass.  Kelsey loves to roll in it and we've even had KGW visitors lay on it...everyone wants to take their shoes off like it's carpet! lol. Tour now.

The backyard at the home of Carolyn Ojamaa is made up of patios shaded by a large river birch and an Atlas Cedar.

Carolyn's son, Jim, designed and welded three large sculptures that enhance the outdoor living space. Be inspired as you enjoy the water features, perennials and welcoming natural sounds in this Keyport garden. Tour now.
