Every garden tells a story, and the tale of this one in Western North Carolina begins around 2010. That\u2019s when Bill Bell purchased a sloping plot surrounded by dense, mossy forest along the banks of the Whitewater River, down a snaking, plunging dirt road a short drive from the pleasantly bustling mountain village of Cashiers. But as stories go, this one didn\u2019t exactly start off with a bang.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cAt that point it was in severe disrepair,\u201d Bell recalls. The house, which had idled in foreclosure, suffered from mold and neglect. The yard was \u201creally depressing\u201d\u2014choked with weeds, strewn with railroad ties, and littered with oyster shells, the ghosts of revelries past. \u201cI took my parents by to look at it,\u201d he says. \u201cThey saw the grounds and the house and were like, \u2018What are you thinking<\/em>?\u2019\u201d But Bell, who grew up in Tallahassee, Florida, and has long resided in Atlanta, had been hunting for waterfront property in the area, and he found the almost-three-acre spot irresistible: close enough to town but bordering the wonderland of Nantahala National Forest, with a few hundred feet of riverbank all its own and six or seven waterfalls not far downstream. \u201cWe have literally one of the wildest places in North Carolina,\u201d he says, \u201cright out our back door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About five years into this rehab project, having made the main house once again livable, Bell happened to hear about Mary Palmer Dargan<\/a>, a landscape architect then based in Cashiers whose visionary garden designs appear in the South Carolina Lowcountry, New Orleans, and elsewhere. A self-confessed \u201cwalking encyclopedia\u201d of plant species, Dargan has also written books on landscape design and for years taught at Clemson. \u201cWe hit it off from the start,\u201d Bell says. \u201cShe was really good at putting together the big picture, and I really enjoyed filling in a lot of the plant selections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she came on board, Dargan says, \u201cthere was nothing but grass and a couple of moth-eaten mountain laurels.\u201d And so she conjured up a plan that wove plenty of function into the greenery\u2014imparting \u201ca feeling of transitional spaces and rooms\u201d screened off by plantings, each terraced section flowing downhill into the next; harmonizing with the river and more than eighty inches of yearly rainfall to \u201cdirect, absorb, and enjoy water across the site\u201d; using native plants whenever possible to welcome beneficial insects and songbirds (while including exotic species as needed, especially those like hellebores that deer find distasteful); installing \u201cpermeable paving\u201d in the form of local river rock. A decade in, Dargan\u2019s botanical acumen has helped transform the plot into a lush, verdant Southern Appalachian refuge\u2014one that somehow feels like both an extension of the forest and a ferny oasis within it. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of an informal style, but it still looks very structured,\u201d Bell says. \u201cShe\u2019s a real artist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thriving in this temperate rainforest, the plantings have blossomed into a year-round collage of overlapping textures and colors. A bigleaf magnolia near a guesthouse (a.k.a. \u201cthe Barn\u201d), one of several on the property, boasts blooms wider than a dinner plate, its leaves fanning out like propeller blades. Bright chartreuse plants infuse light into dark edges, practically glowing from within: clumps of Japanese forest grass, weeping Golden Falls redbud trees, Sun King aralia. Clusters of reddish-purple smoke bush loom tall over beds of tiger lilies. Cinnamon ferns and variegated Solomon\u2019s seal grow alongside comically huge hostas. At least a dozen varieties of Japanese maples, and nearly as many of ferns, set a tone of Zen-like tranquility. Little wonder that during the pandemic, Bell and his wife, Sarah Catherine, fled here from the city some twenty-five weekends in a row.<\/p>

\u201cSome gardens, you can just feel how they\u2019ve been sort of overmanicured,\u201d Sarah Catherine says. \u201cThis one doesn\u2019t feel so curated that it\u2019s not nature. The sounds of the garden are also so beautiful: the birds, the wind chimes, the crows that come in the morning. The river and how it always has a different voice, depending on how much it\u2019s rained.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This garden also doubles as a playground. \u201cWe\u2019re really active people,\u201d Bill says, and the couple and their guests immerse themselves in the wilderness at their doorstep. They\u2019ll cast for trout below the house, embark on springtime wildflower hikes, step into the river by a bridge downstream and wade and fly-fish all the way back home. They\u2019ll brave a deep pool in the current near the garden for soul-cleansing cold-water swims. But they also often set aside time to nestle on a streamside bench, to simply surrender to the stillness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe one place where we just sit for hours and hours and hours is there by the river,\u201d Bill says. \u201cThere\u2019s just something about it that transfixes you. This is the only place I don\u2019t ever get tired of.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
