After: The Barn Grotto Late Summer 2011. Removing the overgrown shrubs and underbrush and excavating decades of composted leaves lead to the discovery of a magnificent granite ledge and pond.   The original plumbing was restored and a new pump was installed.  A weeping cherry tree and a clump birch frame the water feature.  Hellebores promise winter interest and new leucothoes, ferns, vinca and pines complete the contemplative setting.
