The Gardens of Hilltop

Below are photos of Hilltop streets and Hilltop residents' private gardens. For all you up-and-coming urban gardeners, these photos will show you what types of species will flourish in this area since these are photos from real Hilltop gardens. One thing that can be said about our flora here...even in winter, our gardens have great "bones" which transform into powdery and icy "sculptures" each winter during snowfall.
