Biographical / Historical:
The owner's garden-related activities include leadership roles in garden clubs and nature centers. She championed, established and led Milwaukee's Urban Ecology Center where children and adults can partake in environmental education and outdoor experiences.
General:
River Bend had five acres of Milwaukee River frontage, a house built in the 1970s and fields and former cow pastures when the owners bought the property in 1990. They embarked on an extensive project of landscape and garden design that included installing a swimming pool, tennis court, perennial and native plant gardens, and two ponds with a connecting waterfall. Due to the high clay content of the soil the ponds were engineered to accept and recirculate run-off water, with additional run-off channeled to the river. The tennis court was sited on a higher elevation, and dirt excavated during construction of the pool and ponds was used to build berms for privacy. The house is approached from a curved driveway landscaped with rolling berms planted with green ash, blue spruce, honey locust and maple with under-plantings of lilies, spirea, lilac, hydrangea and lamium. The circle in front of the house has another green ash, river birch, maple and pots of purple petunias. An arbor with a honeysuckle vine over a bluestone path accesses the gardens and features behind the house.
The first summer garden has echinacea, phlox, daisies and wild geranium, and another perennial garden planted on a berm across the lawn has Joe Pye weed, yarrow, sage, astilbe, salvia, and many colorful annuals perennials. The multi-level terrace enclosed by three wings of the house is used for dining and entertaining with black wrought iron tables and chairs, black and white upholstery, and many pots of colorful annuals. A gingko tree grows on a bluestone and brick deck, with planted pots of geraniums that are wintered over in the greenhouse. Steps lead to the swimming pool, followed by an expansive lawn for outdoor activities, another furnished terrace outside the tennis court, and a pergola covered with wisteria.
The lower pond has a sandy beach and pier with a bench, with willow, olive and highbush cranberry planted around the perimeter. The upper pond is bordered by roses, iris, weigela and a native garden along with fieldstone boulders around the perimeter. Boulders in the waterfall were placed so the falling water creates a pleasing sound. The ponds were home for two swans and their offspring for many years. A buried pump recirculates water from the lower to the upper pond so the water does not become stagnant. A greenhouse with skylights and large windows is attached to the house, used for wintering over as well as starting seeds for zucchini, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other summer vegetables for a fenced ten by twenty-two- foot vegetable garden. Finally the property is bordered by woodlands with many trees with spectacular fall color.

General:
Although the 1949 white clapboard house was sited far back from the road one of the principle aims of the garden design for this approximately one acre property has been to provide privacy from the road and from neighboring properties. Beginning work in 1988 the owners developed new garden areas by: adding hardscape features including a deck behind the house and newly-designed curved wall patios in front of the house, grading to direct water run-off away from the house and garden beds, re-purposing a small former playhouse as a potting shed at the end of a new bluestone path, and installing an irrigation system. Then more extensive plantings could be installed, focusing on creating four seasons of interest, using more native plants, attracting songbirds, butterflies and wildlife, developing a seamless tapestry of all the garden areas, and providing views of the vernacular garden from the house, patios, covered porch and deck. The view from the street was also considered and a timber terraced perennial bed was installed on the street side of the shrub screen bed.
A small oval perennial bed in front of the house was enlarged to wrap around the side of the house, forming an L-shaped shrub, rose and mixed perennial garden. Pansies provide winter bloom, followed by spring bulbs, peonies, spireas and iris. In summer and fall perennials include day-lilies, bee balm, hibiscus and Shasta daisies. Shrub roses were added to the old roses from previous plantings that were re-positioned. Another smaller L-shaped bed along the side driveway includes a tower of stacked large flower pots that are planted with seasonal annuals. A shade border follows the curve of the other patio and because this side of the house is downhill and wetter plantings include red twig dogwoods and marsh marigolds. Two large oasis flower beds were installed around trees in the front lawn, a crimson king maple and a mature oak, with hellebores for winter, and narcissus, ferns, hostas, and Japanese anemones for successive blooms and foliage.
The roadside garden has a screen of native cedars, forsythias, hydrangeas and lilacs, under-planted with hostas, perennial hibiscus and daffodils. A white garden that can be viewed across the lawn from the house at the end of the day includes a white flowering redbud tree, white bleeding heart, woodland phlox, wood asters, candytuft and tiarella. The potting shed garden was overgrown with shrubs and vines that were cleared away, to be replaced by transplanted rhododendrons and a tree peony, perennials and hydrangeas as well as the bluestone path, a native stone wall, and a bench. At the back of the house the entire back yard was regraded and had drains installed, the latticework under the deck was replaced with planters, and a stone patio was built for sitting in the perennial and shrub garden with roses that is bordered by boxwood. At the back end of the property there is a wooded area with a ravine.
Persons associated with the garden include Charles and Mary Frances Brooks (former owners, 1947-1954); George and Patty Jones Jr. (former owners, 1954-1987); Lynne Schwartz-Barker (landscape designer, 2002-2015); Mark Blumenstein (sculptor); Jeff Fetty (sculptor).
