Lotus draws women into water gardening
Deb Spencer and Susan Davis transform a woodland hillside at 1200 Miss into an aquatic garden starting with bamboo and a lotus tub. They added two stone ponds by Keith Middlemas, a bog garden, and a lotus pond for still waters, plus a cascading pond. They cultivate hardy bamboo and groundcovers and run Water's Edge aquatic nursery near Lawrence, selling water and bog plants.
