Garden of the Month
By Jackie Reid Dettloff
We urge people again to explore the hillside sloping
down to Commerce Street from Reservoir Park. The
unfenced backyard of Claude Gagnon opens out to
a stunning view of the East Side. It is a garden that
has something for everyone, with a brick path that
threads all the elements together. Close to the house
is a patio area. Where the direct sun falls, you will
find a vegetable patch. Where the sun does not reach,
you find a lush woodland shade garden. The crowning
touch is the Asian-inspired pergola which adds a Zen
feel to the whole. This garden behind 2052 North
Booth Street is an all-around gem.
