The garden of Robin Lensi and Tom Zabel in Burlington, CT started as a blank slate seven years ago. Every landscape is first seen through Robin's lens.

As a photographer for the Garden Conservancy a few years ago, and a member of the Connecticut Daylily Society, those many wonderful spaces inspired this one. This creative yardscape is intertwined with color explosions and architectural structures spanning months of viewing beauty incorporating all the possibilities into a personal landscape, that creates "magic" and infuses one with a calm zen-like feeling. Enamored of all types of plants and with a background in interior design, garden design, and horticulture, there were tons of ideas and a blank slate to begin.

We all know gardens are never stagnant but a constant work in progress, and this one's no different. This true four-season garden is a passion, including a wide variety of daylilies, hydrangeas, dahlias, roses, grasses, and hostas scattered throughout. Through this diversity the landscape changes daily.
