A Woodland Garden




Thirteen years ago I began a landscape design business out of my home. People would come to our garden to not only purchase plant material and garden accessories, but to seek advice about their gardens. Soon after opening “Garden Creations”, I found myself actually visiting my customers homes and personally designing their garden. The woodland garden that my husband and I developed served as inspiration and a wonderful teaching opportunity. These two pages actually show very little of this magical garden that has winding pathways, benches, rusty artifacts, birdbaths and a myriad of unusual plantings, but I wanted to put the emphasis on Brandy’s latest FABULOUS Collection, Ballard. However, I’m certain you will be seeing more pages designed by me using Ballard and more glimpses into our backyard.

It's Springtime in Charleston

What a delight to stopover in Charleston, on our return trip from the south to Missouri, and discover that spring is definitely in the air.  Here's a glimpse of what you northerner's can look forward to in a very short time.

 Sensing the Charm

The delicate, fragrant smells almost take your breath away!

 Almost too perfect to be real.

 
You will find a cemetery located in every few blocks.  But this one was filled with life!

Taking time out from my busy schedule.
