Some snapshots of the garden this month! Despite the freeze taking out most of my brassicas (mainly cauliflower and broccoli) I still had a pretty good garden this year!

Also, obsessed with this accidental butterfly ranunculus and Orlaya combination. The orlaya reseeded from last year and made the prettiest combination with the pink butterfly ranunculus 😍

I still need to add a few small details like plant out the raised beds with veggies, herbs and flowers and add a fountain to the bed by the shed. Otherwise this project is finally completed! ➡️ to see the before and after transformation.

This project involved the addition of paver pathways, custom Corten steel raised beds, a new chicken coop/shed combo and lush landscaping filled with both native and non native plants, transforming what was previous an underutilized backyard into a productive and beautiful one.

It was such a joy watching this project come to life from start to finish.

Also, an enormous thank you to O'Donnell Landscaping, Inc. for helping me get get this job done. I highly recommend them for all of your landscaping, hardscaping and irrigation needs!

White Cuban buttercup is a show stopper in the garden right now and everyone who passes by always wants to know what this plant is! This plant started out as a cutting from one of my sweet clients gardens.

It puts on a show every morning and the flowers close each afternoon. It’s also quite the pollinator magnet.
