A leader in the St. Louis home-building industry for more than six decades, Kemp Homes was founded by Fred M. Kemp, an architect with a vision. Today, thousands of quality-built homes in innovative neighborhoods throughout the metro region reflect his belief that homes should be “designed to fit the natural environment of the land, emphasizing indoor-outdoor relationships.”

If you ever needed a testimonial to the fact that landscapes are continually changing and evolving, you would find it in this Huntleigh garden. 

Covering more than two acres, the homeowner has always been hands-on working with Sherwood’s Forest Nursery and landscape designer Bill Minford to keep a basic outdoor core continually fresh and new. 

Double the fun in your landscape by adding bicolor flowers. Using a bloom with multiple hues creates a color palette for your planting area and adds interest. Check out local landscapers' favorite color combos.

1. “Lil' Bang Daybreak Coreopsis is a long-blooming perennial providing a fantastic show of color summer through fall. Compact selection is great for the front of borders and mixed containers.” David Sherwood, Sherwood’s Forest.

Enjoy beautiful flowers, perennials and shrubs from the Rocky Mountains and alkaline environs in the Heckman Rock Garden. The rock garden shares a special space with the Kassabaum Dwarf Conifer Garden in front of the Shoenberg Temperate House. 

Garden-goers are greeted by the Don Wiegand statue, Cora. Cora was installed in November 1993 and depicts a three-year-old girl whose pose conveys youth, innocence and spirituality.
