TThe conservancy/greenhouse was added so Jim could try his hand at some indoor gardening. His plants
include orchids, staghorn ferns, and fiddle leaf figs.

While Jim is responsible for the plants inside, he credits Tony Parker from Classic Landscapes for
achieving the outside look — just one of the many reasons he and Kristen love their coastal home.
“It is an oasis away from the hustle and very relaxing,” Jim says. “The views are serene and gorgeous
and calming. It’s like a little slice of paradise. It’s like a different day, every day. The wind is different,
the tide is different, the light is different, the wildlife is different. It is very easy to relax in many different
areas. Yet it can be the center of fun when family and friends arrive.”
