Scott Heald and David Mitchell, 402 Esty Street gardens

Once an eyesore, 402 Esty Street is now an attractive, well-maintained house with gardens that have become a focal point of positive neighborhood interaction. Every inch of the grounds have been transformed by Scott Heald and David Mitchell, who have built raised beds for vegetables, established a shade garden beneath one of the oldest magnolia trees in the city, dug a pool for a water garden, and installed a shale rock garden and stone walkways. With the help of Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services, they added a sun room with a flagstone terrace last year. Return to Pride of Ownership 2002 Cover
