Perched above an abandoned granite quarry, this garden has rock sculptures and perennials, vegetables and a place to meditate.
The architecture of this garden—with “rooms” devoted to flowers, birds, water features, vegetables, and leisure—was created from the granite quarried here a century and more ago. Rockport, the northern tip of Cape Ann in Massachusetts, was a center of the granite industry. Dave and Nan Araneo live in an artsy 1970s house that was built within the massive walls of what was originally an ox barn dating to 1830. (Oxen hauled blocks of granite from the quarry to schooners at the docks.)
