Summer Fun!

Custom built 8’ tall obelisk nestled within an ocean of Butterbur just before the skies became dark for the night.

A storybook garden shed we had the pleasure to design and establish for a wonderful client of ours. A place where she can escape to get her hands in the soil, prep for planting season, create fresh cut flower bouquets, and all the joys of harvest season!

Breaking ground for a new lakeside project!

Soon it will be time to stroll the paths of your favorite garden!

In all seasons and with each and every day, arriving home should look as good as it feels!

As our Michigan gardens and landscapes nestle into their winter dormancy, we too are going to take a short pause and enjoy some Holiday festivities and well deserved rest. We would like to wish you a Happy Holiday season filled with all that you enjoy and even greater, the anticipation of bountiful and lush blooms in the upcoming spring landscapes!

Within the daylight and evening hours our winter planters are thoughtfully created to enhance the landscape and surroundings in which they inhabit.
In the season of landscape dormancy and shortened days each of our planters invite the eye beyond the window and into the landscape, even when one is nestled and cozied within.

By invite only into the Secret Garden……. The building of a new Boxwood Parterre on our magnificent historical estate project.

Three years ago our firm was commissioned to study design options for a private cutting garden. Nestled within a six hundred acre countryside estate sits the now established cutting garden, pergola, garden gate and surrounding fence. Entering the garden quite simply, heals, uplifts and enhances one’s soul!

Just what we wait for all winter…….planting season! Here we are establishing grades and excavating for a soon to be European Beech privacy hedge.

Early morning sunrise and the previous year spent Bee Balm plants bringing this area great interest even in the off season!

Welcome to the kitchen garden!
