THE LANDSCAPE COMES ALIVE WHERE WATER MEETS THE SKY OVER MARSHLAND RIBBONED WITH INLETS. IT RIPPLES IN THE CONFLUENCE OF RIVERS AND HARBORS THAT SWELL WITH MARINERS AND SEACRAFT OF ALL SHAPES, SIZES AND PROVENANCE. IT SWEEPS A JAGGED COASTLINE DOTTED WITH BARRIER ISLANDS THAT HUG BOTH LAND AND SEA. THIS LANDSCAPE EXTENDS FROM UNTAMED FIELDS QUILTED IN WILDFLOWERS AND GRASSES TO CULTIVATED GARDENS PUNCTUATED BY BOXWOOD PARTERRES AND BRIGHT CAMELLIA BLOOMS AND BRICK WALLS COVERED IN JASMINE. AND, MOST IMPACTFULLY, IT TOUCHES THE SOULS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE, WHOSE LIVES, LIVELIHOODS AND DREAMS HAVE BEEN SHAPED BY THE LUSH AND ENCHANTING NATURE OF THIS UNIQUE PLACE.
