Drucker House

English Cottage Gardens 4403 Tennessee Ave, Chattanooga, TN 37409 (St. Elmo) –

Landscape architect Scott Drucker and his wife Olga have landscaped the city lot surrounding

their 100-year-old home into three unique cottage-style gardens. The welcoming front gate is

planted in the “English” Cottage style with an abundance of climbing roses, camellias, boxwood

accents, and topiary designs. The back features a squared island parterre with historic

reproduction statuary and a jasmine covered arch opening to lush beds of ferns and hostas with

a three-tiered fountain in the center. There is also a ‘’secret” seating and entertaining area

featuring a pergola covered with climbing roses and surrounded with hydrangeas. The side

yards are filled with additional perennials and blooming rarities.
