So here you can see our creativity in full bloom. Here is our process. We sort of tore things apart here before making them beautiful again. Things are coming along quite well and you can look forward to finished pictures tomorrow!

This ginger is so beautiful!

I found a newly hatched cicada and showed it to Hana who put it on the serviceberry with the mamaspider.

Than Hana gave it back to me!

At the President's House

We are here in Poultney, Vermont at the President's house at Green Mountain College installing a design we created several months ago. All of the plants in this design are edible and/or native except for one. It has brought a piece of Vermont and New Hampshire woodlands to their outdoor entertainment area and added an edible component as well! We have incorporated several layers of plants with a Serviceberry being the tallest 'canopy' layer and currant bushes as the shrub layer and then an herbaceous layer worked in with trillium, ginger, and anemones. I will post pictures of this installation for all to view. I enjoy working with the specific plants that we purchased for this plan because it shows we can create a formal landscape using natives and edibles while still having it be functional. Tune in soon for finished pictures.

Franconia, Sugar Hill, Landaff, and Lisbon this Spring & Summer

We have been having a full spring and summer season! Fran, Hana, Hattie, Gabe, Cynthia, and Erika have all been working this spring (some part and some full time) to accomplish maintenance, design, and installations this spring and summer!

We have recently been working with Green Mountain College's wonderful President and his wife, Marsha, to design an edible natives garden for the President's House in Poultney, Vermont. We are planning to install this right after the 4th of July! We will have pictures posted upon completion! In the mean time, please enjoy the following pictures of some of our designs and maintenance this summer.

Thanks for visiting our blog!

Here are some projects that we have been working on for the past few weeks. These tulips are a beautiful project we started last fall. Then the patio below has been an ongoing project this spring.

Franconia this week

More mulching with Fran on Saturday



Here are the beds that Cynthia and I maintained today. We were weeding and cutting back perennials and annuals from last year and then we mulched everything. The new mulch looks fantastic and will keep weeds down considerably!
