We love native viburnums, as you can tell my Mr. Gutierrez’s expression. ☺️ This Viburnum nudum is thriving in a project in Lorton and we are thrilled about it. 🐝🐦‍⬛

Serviceberry harvest season! They are delicious if you haven’t tried them yet. Serviceberry trees provide food for over 40 bird species, offer early-Spring nectar for pollinators and support dozens of butterflies and moths species. On top, they are beautiful understory trees that can be used as a specimen tree or to create a vertical, not too dense, element in your planting design. We LOVE them.

Before you pull it, know it! Virginia creeper is a valuable native plant that deserves love ❤️ It feeds birds, controls erosion, and puts on a Fall show. Give it a chance!

When space is limited, vertical planting is the way to go. We recently mounted a wire trellis system on an existing fence and planted coral honeysuckle, which is a hummingbird magnet, and blue wood sedge as the base. designed by Mollie and photographed by Mr. M Emilio!

Shade got you down? We meet clients concerned about shaded yards and plant combinations all the time. Here are some shade garden ideas for average soils. First photo: Phlox divaricata, Carex laxiculmus, and Viburnum nudum. Second photo: Pachysandra procumbens and Tiarella cordifolia. Third photo features Matteuccia and Podophyllum peltatum. Fourth: Aster divaricatus with Osmunda cinnamonea and fifth: Zizia aurea, a tough one. All these photos were taken last week. Do you have any other shade native plants combinations you could share with us? 🐝
