The Pearsons’ Sustainable Home Garden

Today we’re visiting Yvette Pearson.
The gardens at the Pearson home reflect the many memorable years with our family and friends. When we moved here in 1988, our love of gardening began as an inspiration from the charming landscapes around this community. Initially, we focused on the area surrounding our signature pear tree in the rear of the home, and then we extended our gardening designs to improve the landscape.
Throughout our yard space we continue to create garden designs that highlight the biodiversity of plants during the changing seasons. The west side of the house displays a naturalized garden that includes sedges (Carex species), a variety of epimediums, and blooming evergreen shrubs that relish the shelter of the Japanese snowbell tree (Styrax japonicus, Zones 5–9). The recently completed fern gully focuses on a variety of native plants flanked by the colorful blossoms of perennial geraniums, Hosta‘Guacamole’ (Zones 3–8), and the exotic Ligularia. And no garden would be complete without vegetable- and fruit-bearing plants, which include a bountiful purple grapevine, a generous brown turkey fig tree, a towering black elderberry bush, and much more!
In recent years we have learned more about the responsibilities of sustainable gardening and the impact to our environment. We are committed to organic practices, which avoid the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers that diminish the quality of the soil. These practices support healthy and viable landscapes. Above all, we are cultivating a garden for the years to come!
We welcome everyone to enjoy our garden!
Spring along the side of the house features masses of azaleas (Rhododendron hybrids, Zones 5–9) in full bloom.

Judy’s Virginia Garden
My name is Judy. I have been gardening for many years but with no formal training. I have learned a lot by trial and error. My husband and I moved to the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (Zone 7B) four years ago, to an existing house surrounded by woods but a yard bare of any trees or flowers. The soil is clay, poor and full of moles, and the local deer population is hungry, so I have had challenges to overcome. I am continually improving soil and editing plants that surprised me in the way they developed. Each year I have focused on expanding my garden into new areas. This year’s project was my hellstrip of sorts, the narrow strip of land between my driveway and the woods.
