Bringing your work home with you can actually be a very good thing… when both your vocation and your avocation relates to gardening. Such is the case for Dan Benarcik and his wife Peggy Anne Montgomery. Both work in professional horticulture: Dan, at one of the country’s most admired public gardens, while Peggy is a champion of native plants and the important role they play in the landscape. But it’s at home where the real magic happens. Thanks to their keen eyes for design and a strong shared knowledge of plants, there’s always something interesting to see throughout this garden’s many rooms. Their beautiful garden is a laboratory of sorts where the couple is always experimenting with different plants yet with an abundance of native selections to provide wildlife habitats. Dan and Peggy’s greatest joy is sharing their garden with friends and family; now they’re sharing it with us.
