Once a Barnes student herself, Liz Schumacher now leads First Year Horticultural Students on a tour of her garden Liz Schumacher is a Barnes horticulture alumnus, the creator of an award winning garden and the owner of Garden Accents. As she told us it was a failed local attempt to find a garden sculpture she liked for her terraced garden in PA that led her to a pawn shop in Mexico and ultimately to a lifetime traveling the world collecting sculptures, fountains and garden furnishings. A chance quest turned into a lifelong passion and thriving business.
Liz began studying horticulture at the Barnes Foundation when her children were small - she had recently moved to the area and bought a house with a barren hill for a garden that nobody else would touch and was looking for inspiration. In the decades since she has terraced and developed the inhospitable sun-baked slope into an award winning terraced garden, stunningly pruned trees, specialty plants and art objects that have created important focal points and have personalized the space. Her children have grown and have their own gardens, Liz now supplies garden pieces to many award winning exhibits at the Philadelphia Flower Show and other local events, lectures to garden clubs and universities and is a published garden writer.
