My paper whites have started to bloom! and remind me of the hundreds of bulbs I planted last fall. I’m enjoying the snow but anxious for spring growth!!

Although the gardening season has wrapped up I am still available for seasonal containers, and spring project consultation and planning!

It has been a busy season so far with little time for online updates. Here is a sample of some of the projects I have been working on. Its time to start scheduling fall clean ups, and its not too late for installations of new gardens or enhancements. September is another great time to plant shrubs, and perennials would love to get out of their pots and into the ground! Contact me to schedule a consultation! 🌸🌿🦋🌞

COVID-19 installation mask!!!

An all native plant installation (except Hosta transplanted from another bed - a different type of native, right? hehe). Spirea, Amsonia (Chokeberry), Viburnum, Coreopsis (Tickseed - but doesn't attract ticks!!), Aquilegia (Columbine), Echinacea (Coneflower), Allium (a type of flowering - and edible- chive/onion), Baptisia (False indigo). Bed is new and will create privacy between neighbors and sidewalk. Blends nicely with plants that the owner had already placed. Early installation and excited to see the growth and bloom.

I've been busy busy these past couple of weeks! Check out before and after pics of the first installation of the season!! Dry sandy soil, front is full sun, fence is part shade. Owner wanted lots of flowers. Plants are drought tolerant, prefer sandy soil, and are low maintenance. Can't wait to see it in full bloom!

A full truck load - one of 5 or 6 - from my latest spring clean-up. I forgot to take before pictures and got right to work, but here a couple of after pics!

Its a perfect time to clear leaves that might smother sprouting perennials, to cut back perennial stalks, and to clear leaf debris from along the curb.

I found out today that landscapers and gardeners can continue to operate our businesses as long as we follow physical distancing. See halfway down under "Public Works" for more information.

When I am on your property I commit to 6 ft. distances, and will even Facetime or talk over the phone with you if that is what you prefer. Call or email to set up a free initial consultation!

I'm in the process of confirming whether or not landscaping and gardening is considered by the Massachusetts government. Right now it doesn't seem to be the case, and I will update you if I find out otherwise. Even so - please feel free to contact me to discuss your garden needs for the future!
