We may not create a garden in a single day nor control nature;
but like nature, as the garden evolves, even the most infinite change is astonishing!

"Charlotte, when I returned home yesterday I was in the most beautiful garden. Wow! We are literally living in our new summer porch enjoying every minute of this incredible view."

a nature inspired ''burble'!
John's garden will be featured in an upcoming edition of
Gardens West Magazine.
"The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no
matter how hushed, are as crisp
as autumn air."

This custom Arts and Crafts inspired prairie home did not have an 'inspirational' garden; the plantings were all wrong. By repositioning existing material, introducing new native plants and redesigning the space, the garden now blends with its surroundings and
complements this beautiful house. The changes to the garden surrouding the house were completed this summer. The misplaced
shrubs and other plants unsuited to the island in the driveway will be next years project.

The new owners are adding gardens
along the side & back of the huge city lot.
As soon as I get a chance to see how this yard has progressed through this stressful summer, I hope photographs will be included. There was a lot of work planned but we all know how life sometimes just gets in the way. As all things dependant on weather and time, it remains a work in progress.
