PAWLING, NY: MEMBERS OF THE MAD GARDENERS ARE INVITED TO VISIT THE BRINE GARDEN ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6 FROM 12 TO 6 P.M., RAIN OR SHINE.

THE BRINE GARDEN has an old-fashioned ambiance. Explore its 6 acres of naturalistic plantings, enhanced by twin 1920s farmhouses. Visit; receive a property map and an extensive plant list indicating U.S. and Dutchess County natives.
Distant hills are a backdrop to this garden of many parts. Grass and gravel pathways connect ecologically and horticulturally diverse areas. The maturing native plant collection includes an allée of Taxodium distichum (with intriguing knees), groups of Chionanthus virginicus (with drupes), and more than twenty Viburnum (native and non-native). Several hedges of Miscanthus giganteus structure the garden while relating to the Phragmites of this formerly agrarian landscape.
Duncan Brine is an instructor at the New York Botanical Garden. He and his wife, Julia, are principal designers of GardenLarge, a naturalistic landscape design and installation firm. They began their business in 1984 in Brooklyn, NY, and they have been creating and caring for residential gardens, from New York to Boston, since then. They specialize in native and deer resistant plants, whole property gardens, and invasive plant control.
The Brine Garden appears widely in books, magazines, and newspapers. Read Anne Raver’s New York Times piece on www.gardenlarge.com.
