Garden #8  Jason and Becky McGinty
6955 Il. Rt. 78 – Mt. Carroll

New to our tour this year, this garden has been featured in many garden walks, and you’ll know why at first glance.  At the top of the sloping hill, the McGintys built their first pond and surrounded it with lovely perennials.  This year, Becky decided to expand the concept by adding more pools…the 2006 version features three ponds, many waterfalls and winding streams.  New plant material and statuary were added resulting in a wonderfully meditative area.  Do note the touches of Irish humor.  Here you will see a wide variety of water plants, fish and plant material including blue fescue, moss rose, miscanthus pupurea, and hostas
