SLICE OF HEAVEN
GARDEN
Flour meets flowers in Chuck and Emily Brandt’s pizza-oven garden, a merger of the Michigan couple’s two aromatic passions.
Tap here to explore!
The pizza garden is set within a spacious yard, so fieldstone walls and an arbor, as well as tall plantings, create an illusion of a special, private entertaining space. The arbor is built of split rails and is draped with wisteria that blooms in June.
Ornamental grasses in various sizes and colors add texture and color well into fall and even in winter.
Tall varieties frame the perennial beds, and smaller purple ones in front add height and interest.

Chuck built a substantial fieldstone border on both sides of the oven to set off his masterpiece. Emily planted behind, focusing on foliage (including tall burgundy-leaf cannas, variegated hosta, and papyrus ‘Little Tut’) that
forms a textural frame around a colorful collection
of perennial coneflowers.
Rather than use a kit, Chuck developed his own design for the pizza oven. The cut-stone foundation includes a wide hearth and a deep recess for storing firewood. On top, a peaked roof and wood housing make the oven look like a rustic farm outbuilding. It even has a weathervane!
With its circular shape and crossed paths, the brick-and-flagstone patio is strongly gemoetric, but creeping plants between the flagstones soften the look. Emily opted for Irish and Scotch moss as well as ‘Elfin’ creeping thyme that smells lovely when stepped on.
