Celebrating 19 Years as Barrington’s Signature Magazine

March / April 2025 Issue

About This Issue

ON THE COVER: “George Hughes, a brilliant landscape designer, was entrusted with the task of designing our garden from the very beginning. We gave him complete freedom to express his creativity, and he hand-selected every plant, designed the fences, gates, and even played a significant role in the dovecote’s design. It was an awe-inspiring experience to witness his creative visions transform into a living, breathing work of art. Each garden we have created is a unique and immersive experience, a testament to George’s talent and passion for design. -Barrington Resident. Cover image: Linda M. Barrett Photography.
