What's New in the Garden

Sculpture IS 2007

The third installation of Sculpture IS will unveils in our demonstration gardens May 29 - October 24. Please come out for a stroll, and read more about it here.

Rose ArborOur metal wood and concrete rose arbor planted several years ago with a variety of colorful climbing roses is now maturing and filling in. Each coming year we expect it to get fuller and covered with even more spectacular displays of its array of cheerful colors.

succulent gardenWe have recently planted a new succulent garden with mounded soil, rock and driftwood. The many varieties of succulents planted display a tapestry of texture, color and unique forms. Succulents are wonderful low water using and low maintenance plants that are quickly gaining popularity with gardeners, landscapers and designers.

New grasses and "grass-like" plants (i.e. rushes, sedges, restios) are always being planted in the garden. "Grasses" are very textural, showing interesting movement with the slightest breeze, and when flowering, can "catch" sunlight early and late in the day like no other plants.

It is always surprising to see how rapidly new plants fill in. The original plantings throughout the garden now feature many fine examples of mature plants. Many of our customers enjoy visiting the gardens throughout the year as each season brings changes and reveals a new face of the garden.
