Description: Ted and Linda Heath have spent 20 years bringing to life a living work of art that showcases their love of gardening and artistic composition. Climbing vines lead the spring revival in their Anasazi Trails landscape, followed by flowering shrubs and perennials that provide color throughout the growing season.
The front courtyard has a shady meditation garden, with a waterfall and views of the Jemez Mountains. Linda’s adjacent art studio is surrounded by native desert plants with a flagstone path that leads guests through a vine-covered portal and into the warm backyard patio. There, Ted has trained climbing roses, grapes, wisteria, and trumpet vines to entwine the columns, defining an intimate outdoor living space.
