Welcome, Joe!

A year ago we planted a stand of Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium dubium ‘Little Joe’) in a sunny spot on the path down to the garden. Fireworks of colorful purple blooms are the result this late summer. We love the late bloom time because of the color it adds to our garden and the pollinators […]

  • Winter

    The winter garden is quiet. After snowfall comes the deepest stillness of the year.

  • Early Spring

    Spring is throwing a surprise party out in the garden. Roadside confetti of celandine poppies signals the festivities are beginning.

  • Late Spring

    How could one six-inch-tall plant embody the profusion of mid-May? And yet it does.

  • Early Summer

    June 2014 is greener than most, and the lushest in memory

  • Midsummer

    In midsummer stillness, garden layers reveal themselves.

  • Late Summer

    Wild is the late season. Plants roam, taller and wilder in their September fling.

  • Autumn

    Days before the first frost, golden light bathes a radiant garden at ease. This is the majestic last hurrah.

And to do […]

Kurt helped us transform our Walnut Hill property into what it is today.  He established the series of three courtyards and the two-person wide brick sidewalk that form the central axis around which all of our […]

Watching for Spring

We are waiting and watching. Come on, spring! First came the winter solstice. The next day we swore we could see that daylight lasted a minute later. We love the quietude of winter, when we bury ourselves in plant catalogues and plot garden changes, but we’re always anxious for longer days and signs of spring. […]
