Yin yang
Yin and yang are complementary
opposites that interact
within a greater whole, as part
of a dynamic system. Like yin yang,
John and Pat Hatcher’s home and
garden coexist as one.
This Southern garden is the perfect
setting for the elegant home that
inhabits the one-acre parcel that was
once part of the Jones’ Airlie estate.
Although appearing to have occupied
the site for decades, the home and
garden were completed only seven
years ago. Then a widower, John
knew exactly what he wanted and
hired architect David Lisle, builder
David James and garden designer
Chris Lindley to help him achieve it.
“I wanted a garden that looked
and felt mature and would be low
maintenance because I had wanted
to travel at that time,” John says.
That changed, however, when he
married his wife, Pat, four years ago
in this same beautiful garden that
easily accommodated their 40 wedding
guests.
