Farrar Pond Flex Fence
Lincoln, MA
Lincoln, MA
This garden is located within a three-acre native hardwood forest overlooking Farrar Pond, part of the Walden Pond system. A rich variety of native plants changes with the seasons, blending seamlessly with the surrounding forest. A sculptural Corten flex fence weaves through this biodiverse garden with native groves within this kame and kettle landscape. Corten steel members move with the landscape to create a dynamic form, reflecting the client’s commitment to land stewardship while incorporating a contemporary sculptural vision.

During the Fall season the sculptural fence merges with the colors of the forest. In winter, it becomes an important feature for the experience.
A series of steppable groundcover plants interspersed with bluestone offer an open space for gathering.
