The beauty of a winter's garden

As a large part of the nation continues to be blanketed in snow, we here on the West Coast are reminded of our easygoing climate, year round planting opportunities, and perpetual state of renewal.  But there’s something to be said for the unique beauty of winter’s dormant nature as the soil quiets itself in a slumbering stillness.

Dreaming of Spring

Pennsylvania is home to untold beautiful gardens and dedicated, passionate gardeners.  It's a state filled with horticultural wonders (anyone who's visited the famed Longwood Gardens will attest).  A Pennsylvania client named Georgia recently emailed us photos of her glorious spring-summer garden, lovingly filled with a palette of echinacea, roses, geranium and jasmine.  Georgia's garden embraces the tradition of a classical landscape that is anchored by strong, architectural elements.  We love the juxtaposition of her Akoris Garden Tuteurs against the traditional brick home, giving artful (and functional) structure to the looseness of her plantings.
