Along the edge of a sweeping marshfront on James Island, South Carolina, grassy paths wind through a tropical patchwork of color and texture: the vibrant greens of tractor seat plants and staghorn ferns, sunshine-hued bromeliads, and clouds of chartreuse hydrangeas. As Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez and Jim Smeal meander toward a shaded perch at the back of their property, the flush of orange and yellow blanketing the ground thins out. There, yaupon holly fringes a panoramic view of the marsh, and the couple soak in the inspiration for their garden\u2019s palette while watching ibis and herons sail above the salty creeks. \u201cThe marsh changes colors every season,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez says, nodding toward swaths of spartina grass that shift in the light. \u201cYou cannot compete with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Some twenty-six years ago, when Gonz\u00e1lez and Smeal were hunting for a home and pulled up to this circular lot, it held a neglected green space tangled with vines and the fire-scorched remains of a house long abandoned. \u201cWe closed on the property,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez says, \u201cand we started working the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, which included building a new home, has been an anchor for Gonz\u00e1lez and Smeal, who fell in love in Charleston thirty years ago and now share the baking company Wedding Cakes by Jim Smeal<\/a>. Taking cues from their fascination with flora, they make desserts for high-end events that mimic nature in Italian and Swiss buttercream, including sugar-white magnolias and meandering passionflower vines. \u201cGardening was instantly our connection,\u201d says Smeal, who grew up tending flowers with his parents in Pennsylvania; Gonz\u00e1lez nurtured tropical plants during his childhood in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tropical

Between busy event weekends, the two have shaped this plot over the decades, adding elements from the most unlikely places: They brake for castaway pots and roadside plants left for dead, rescuing fading boxwood and shaggy ferns to nurse back to life. The way they layer plants creates naturalistic vignettes: A nook on a live oak tree makes a picturesque roost for staghorn ferns and bromeliads. Even during a frost, when Smeal covers his massive \u201cpride and joy\u201d elephant\u2019s ears with cloth to protect the leaves, and the two tuck hundreds of container plants into their greenhouses, the gardeners look at the dormant space with excitement. \u201cIn the winter, you start to see the bones and things that you like and don\u2019t like,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez says. \u201cYou learn from the garden every season.\u201d<\/p>

At the front of the property, Smeal and Gonz\u00e1lez built their pueblo-style home, which acts as a shield against Charleston\u2019s coastal winds and the odd cold snap. Here, the tropicals are happiest. Come spring, the couple move through their garden with the minds of sculptors, playing with horizontal and vertical forms, shaping harmony from a balance of hard and soft lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the tamed style typical of Charleston\u2019s many English-inspired retreats; this garden is all about shape and texture, and a sense of wildness that Gonz\u00e1lez lovingly calls \u201corganized chaos.\u201d The spiky hands of palms fan out against pink and green fountains of bromeliads; feathery foxtail ferns balance the sharpness of tall grasses; the curved edges of tractor seats float like lily pads beside leggy stems. One section of the land, the \u201cspiky garden,\u201d is devoted to pointy species, including yucca rostrata and agave. Foliage holds court above all else. \u201cIt\u2019s still full and interesting,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez says. \u201cThat part of the garden has color, but we don\u2019t rely on the flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bromeliads

Bromeliads thrive along the back terrace.<\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Benches scattered among the leaves provide shady seating, and a cozy patio offers a casual place for hosting friends. As guests arrive, Gonz\u00e1lez and Smeal might harvest citrus from the cluster of potted trees that sit near a fern-covered shed, plucking kumquats, Cara Cara oranges, grapefruits, and makrut limes. The green lime zest\u2014a favorite of both gardeners\u2014will then season bowls of coconut rice and toasted cashews, passed among hands during golden hour.<\/p>

Just as the James Island cradle is a paradise for the homeowners, wildlife also finds refuge in every cranny. A fox (the couple call her Frida) and her pups sheltered in the hollow of a live oak steps from Smeal and Gonz\u00e1lez\u2019s back patio; bromeliads hold pockets of water for little green tree frogs and spring peepers. Smeal delights in watching ruby-throated hummingbirds, Gulf fritillary butterflies, and bees fuel up on the colorful blooms of red-hot pokers. Binoculars sit within easy reach for watching ospreys, storks, and kingfishers flitting through the marsh. \u201cWe always say that this property was meant for us,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez says. Seems like the generations of frogs, birds, and foxes, which return year after year to build their lives here too, feel the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
