Two Weeks in a glance!

We've been getting a lot done over the past few weeks - but now we're almost out of work! Hana and I have been working weekends since mid June and I have been working 6 days a week since March - so we've got all our clientele caught up with yard maintenance. We need more clients! Please pass our name along if you know anyone who needs a couple of strong, able bodies and minds maintaining their property! Here are a few examples of what we've been doing - Enjoy!

Franconia -
Here we were maintaining (weeding, dead heading, cutting back) and transplanting for two days to prepare this property for the WREN Garden Tour for Sunday, the 18th.
Here is a lovely rock garden with a variety of interesting conifers and succulents - check out the flowers!



Aren't these Sempervivum flowers spectacular?
sTransplanted Lonicera vines...these will be stunning!
This home uses high bush and low bush blueberries for a lot of landscaping and they look fantastic and yield fruit as well! These bushes have nice foliage, white bell flowers, blue berries, and many have an autumn red foliage. More people should make good use of these bushes!
This client has landscaped a large scrabble board on their property and calls the garden behind it the "Scrabble Board Garden." It has a lovely view of Cannon Mountain in the background! There's some fun trails that go down into the marsh that I also maintained today as well.
Close up of the Scrabble Board Garden. The Mondarda is wonderful!
I always encourage clients to plant gardens around trees and shrubs on their property. It softens the transition from lawn to trunk/stem and it will give some fun color as well! This will burst with color in about two to three weeks with Liatrus and Coreopsis.
Here is a mini-hosta garden leading up to the house - very cute!
They're so tiny!
This is a project in Sugar Hill. This first garden was existing - the others were installed by Two Sisters Garden & Landscaping this spring! They are doing very well and will be wonderfully filled out in a year or two!

First garden - Campanula and Veronica are blooming with Thalictrum and Hemerocallis budding up.
This Sempervivum is really having fun!
Second garden - the Cimicifuga, racemosa is blooming and the Atilbes are right behind!

The Echinaceas are coming out - bright reds and pinks.
Here is another mini-hosta! Its called 'Mighty Mouse.'

The Cephalaria is inspiring....
Here is a lovely cottage garden in Bethlehem that we started maintaining a year ago. The colors really come out in a few weeks with Echinaceas and Acontium and a reblooming of Centauria.

A climbing rose on one side and a clematis on the other.


Peonies have lovely foliage when they are not blooming.

Cute ornamental apple!
Here is a home in Landaff where we cut out sod around shrubs and mulched to give a better transition from lawn to trunk/stem.
There is also a circular Narcissus bed in this picture.
Here are some of their gardens - the Alchemilla against the Veronica is stunning!



Here is a new garden we put in at a home in Lyman (on left). We wanted to edge a path down to the pond with different colored and varied bloom times with Hemerocallis. There is also a tall, orange Coreopsis in the middle next to a neat mill-stone.
Existing gardens we maintain -


'Fairy Princess' Peony - a short rock garden peony that's bright red!
Cool orange Coreopsis
