This is a sweet wall I built today. It's going to be filled with soil and planted with Ostrich ferns soon, blending this garage into the suurounding landscape. So pretty, eh?!

Planting these yellow peony-tulips last fall for this client was the right choice! #vignetteoftheday #gardensofmay #springgardens #gardensofinstagram
Ever notice how the stonework in your garden becomes dull over time, and is SLIPPERY to walk on when it rains? It's an algae that grows on the rocks over time, but it can be blasted away with a quick pressure wash, and the garden will be bright, beautiful, and safe to navigate in the rain again!

Fruit trees are putting on a show across the countryside right now!! This is our annual Mother's Day show put on in my neighbour's backyard. They are especially spectacular this year!
Part of my adoration for them is that they are fleeting and one should be considered fortunate to have happened upon them before their delicate and mysterious beauty disappears in the heat of the unfurling season. May we be so lucky to meet again next year.

A busy week of spring clean-ups, including heaps of invasive removals and 10 happy clients and gardens! Last pic is a build from 3 years ago that got expanded today to make way for more pollinator plants on my visit next month. Sorry for lack of before and after... to the grindstone more than usual this week!!

This time last year my yard looked like the face of the moon (new septic build destroyed my previous veggie garden). This year, not so much!
I cannot wait to see what it has in store for the rest of the season! I planted a mix of native and non-invasive native plant cultivars last year, and their clump have spread immensely and started to seed off. This is well on its way to becoming the full meadow I plan for it to be!
