Sanger House Gardens

When the current owners bought the property in 1985, the 2/3 acre yard was full of box elders, ‘tree of heaven’ and black walnut trees. The only cultivated area was a vegetable garden on the south side. There had been at least 3 other houses on the south end of the current lot, which had been demolished prior to 1975. The owner at that time purchased the vacant lots and added them to the existing double lot. The south end of the property originally sloped down to the Vine street level. The previous owner had fill brought in to create an 8 foot high plateau for privacy. There is only 1 remaining original tree; all other deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs were planted by the current owners over the last 35+ years.
