| Evans Garden | |
This garden home is located on a one acre lot at 1490 Blue Forrest Dr., Prosper, Texas. The landscaping and gardens evolved from season to season beginning in 2002. Images of this garden are to the right and below. Rex and Jane Evans have personally designed, built and planted the landscaping and gardens with their hard work and sweat. A 900-foot-deep well provides the demand for water with a customized water management system consisting of soakers, low pressure micro spray, bubblers, garden risers and rotary spray heads. Each year the gardens and landscaping have grown in size and currently make up about 10,000-square-feet of planting area. The latest addition includes two raised stone vegetable gardens with automatic irrigation system. The focus is on seasonal color with a large variety of plants, including more than 70 roses consisting of climbers, hybrid teas, floribundas, shrub roses, David Austin English tea’s, miniatures, and EarthKind™ varieties. On this garden tour, you will see more than 100 varieties of perennials, herbs, ornamental grasses, vines and annuals, complemented with many roses, plush turf, native and planted trees, raised stone beds, boarders made of boulders, garden art, cabana, pool and a towering purple martin house with the aerobatic birds flying gracefully over the gardens.
