Christy Webber designers Tony Butterworth and Brian Wildman have used their talents to give the show an amazing display. We have three displays. Photos and descriptions are below.

Whimsical Frosted Entry

A whimsical and frosty front yard is a twist on Dr. Seuss. Hues of white, silver and blue accent the fence providing security, acting as a sculptural element creating character and depth to the yard. A fountain made from recycled materials mirrors the parkway. A bluestone walk resembling a winding river, cascades from the front door and invites a sense of fun, into the garden.

Rustic Retreat

Old world charm and new world ideas combine in a way that’s simply, Chicago. Similar to the city, Rustic Retreat is built keeping an essence of history while looking to the future. Weathered stones, lush plantings and classic elements sit side by side with alternative materials and contemporary ideas. A garden with the city spirit, it becomes the perfect retreat …right in your own backyard.

Reusable Parkway

As city initiatives become increasingly environmentally friendly, the parkway will become a fun and organic response; using a wave of recycled materials. Accented by select plantings, one person’s junk becomes a designer’s new pallet.
