General:
This Arts and Crafts home is situated above a lake and surrounded by two acres of perennial, vegetable, rain, and prairie gardens. The house was built in 1905 by James Flett Cargill, of the grain storage company, and designed by Hugh Garden of Schmidt, Garden and Martin in Chicago, specializing in prairie and craftsman designs. The wraparound porch, stone foundation, and open veranda take full advantage of its natural surroundings. The current owner, a landscape architect, purchased the home in 1999 and renovated the home and gardens in 2008-2010. The owner worked with two design friends to create a landscape design that embodied important elements of Arts and Crafts design, reflecting the long horizontal lines of the water, the brick foundation, the porches, the roofline through the perennial garden with its brick wall and gardens. Water has been carefully managed throughout the property. The owner works daily in her gardens and has on part-time gardener to assist her.
The drive to the property leads through two stone pillars. On one side of the house is a large sun-loving perennial garden, and on the other is a shade garden filled with a variety of unusual hostas and other shade tolerant plants. The driveway circles around to the perennial garden to the entrance of the house. This area had been used as parking for cars and for the entrance to the garage. The garage was moved around and tucked under the house opening up the front area for gardens. Today this area has become a perennial garden filled with a diverse variety of plants that bloom from early spring to fall. To the left directly in front of the house, Annabelle hydrangeas have been planted. Early spring bulbs begin the season providing color before the hydrangeas leaf out. Bordering the driveway is the prairie drop seed ditch planted to handle water run off as the driveway slopes slightly, directing water away from the house. Early bulbs begin blooming in spring followed by native plants, Prairie Smoke and Blue Camassia, providing color and interest before the prairie drop seed matures. Behind this is a stone wall crafted by a stone mason with carefully selected stones to repeat the elements of stone used throughout the property. Leading to the garden are stone steps with mulched paths throughout. Both native and non-native pollinator friendly perennials have been used with the caveat that the plants have attractive foliage when not in bloom. The layering of bulbs and perennials provide color and interest throughout the growing season as bloom time flows throughout the space. Within the garden, a pergola enclosed with chicken wire has been constructed to keep out deer and other animals. Within this structure, raised beds for vegetables, daylilies, and other plants tempting to wildlife have been constructed. At the rear is a garden shed.
Around the house, by the remodeled back entry, an herb garden has been planted with easy access to the kitchen. On this side of the house is also a large potting station with counters that can be used for potting, flower arranging or double as a buffet for entertaining as it flows onto the porch that wraps around three sides of the house. The garage has been tucked under this area. To deflect from the garage entrance, planter boxes filled with long flowering vines have been set above the doors of the garage creating a living curtain over the doors. Originally the lake side of the home had a large sloping lawn down to the water and the boathouse. Today it is seeded with native prairie plants and maintained by an annual controlled burn to rejuvenate growth of native grasses and plants and to manage unwanted growth. The original center brick path to the boathouse has been restored and rebuilt as was the boathouse. A rain garden has been planted before the water's edge to capture runoff. Back toward the drive and entrance to the house, there is a garden filled with plants that can tolerate more shade and water as runoff flows from the natural slope through a rain garden to the lake.
Persons associated with the garden include: James Flett Cargill (former owner, 1905); Hugh Garden (architect, 1905); Frank Fitzgerald (landscape designer, 2008-); Fred Rozumalski (landscape designer, 2008-2010); Susanne von Schroeder (horticulturalist, 2008-2011); Nancy Kennedy (planter, 2012-); David Heide Design Studio (renovation architects, 2008-2010); Mark Nelson (renovation architects, 2008-2010); Brad Belka (renovation architects, 2008-2010); Rob Rehberge (maintenance, 2000-); Bob Palmer (landscape contractors, 2008-2010); Great Northern Woodworks (builder); Chad Johnson (builder); Prairie Restorations, Inc. (landscape restorer).
