Many Beachwood homeowners share Davidson's passion for gardening. Here is an inside
look at just a few of the backyard paradises that we had the privilege of photographing.
Leanne Leavitt ­ Fairmount Blvd.
"I created this garden when I moved into
my condo 12 years ago. The first thing I did
was design a rock garden on a small hill
on the side of my town home where I have
incorporated a variety of sedum and phlox
for seasonal color and balance. I also have
a continuously blooming perennial garden
in the back of my yard and ten statues,
representing my ten grandchildren."
Bruce Mandel ­ Meldon Blvd.
"Gardening is my therapy, a great stress
buster. I enjoy getting my hands dirty and
focusing on the garden, rather than on
the outside world. I like when people stop
by and comment on the garden. It makes
me feel good when neighbors and friends
appreciate my work."
Jen Stern ­ Letchworth Road
"I love to garden and have for most of my
adult life. I find great peace and satisfaction
in planting, growing, and photographing
my flowers and vegetables. I begin most
mornings on my bench, noticing the
growth and change in my flowers. I began
photographing my flowers as a tool to
help me stop and take notice of the beauty
around me."
Alan Peters ­ Beechmont Court
"Along with our giant dinner plate dahlias, we grow a variety of roses. We have large climbing rose
bushes outside our bedroom window, and in the summer when we open the windows it smells like
we are sleeping in a beautifully scented rose garden. Gardening is very therapeutic for me and gives
me lots to time to ­ smell the roses."
Jan Kirschenbaum ­
Hurlingham Road
"I feel that I've been into gardening
my entire life. While growing up,
my mom had rose gardens and
perennials everywhere. I watched
her work outside and grew to
appreciate fresh picked flowers. I've
transplanted several peony bushes
and silver dollar plants from my
mom's original gardens. The silver
dollar seeds originally came from her
grandmother's garden. My sister is
also an avid gardener, so you can kind
of say it's in our blood."
