Caught this little hard worker soaking up the last days of summer. ☀️🐝 August gardens are so vibrant and buzzing with life right now. Bees kick into overdrive during these final weeks of the season, foraging for every last drop of food to build up winter fat reserves before the first frost hits. Soak up the sunshine while it lasts, little buddy! 🌼🍂

One of the things I love most about working in gardens is not only witnessing beautiful things grow but discovering all the little lives already living there. 🌿
We came across this tiny visitor while working. It was a sweet reminder that when we step into a garden, we’re stepping into someone else’s home too.
It’s why I love creating gardens that don’t just look beautiful, but leave room for the bees, butterflies, birds and all the other little creatures that depend on them to thrive too.
Because when we work with nature, everyone wins. 🌱

Another garden transformation by the Primrose Gardening and Design team!
Your curb appeal is the first thing you see when you come home. It directly increases your home value, and sets the tone for your entire property. For the front of this gorgeous home, we kept our design timeless, clean, and classic. We swapped out the overgrown weeds for structured, lush Hydrangeas and framed the stonework with variegated Hostas. To complete the look, we styled the stunning black urns with stately Kimberly Queen Ferns, trailing Variegated Ivy, crisp White Geraniums, and a touch of silvery Dusty Miller.
The result is a beautiful, polished entryway that perfectly welcomes you home.🌿 Ready to elevate your home’s first impression?

From bare soil to lakeside luxury. 🌿✨
Swipe to see this stunning waterfront transformation by the Primrose Gardening & Design team! ➡️
For this property, the goal was to transform an open, unfinished space into a lush, layered landscape that perfectly frames the breathtaking lake views.
I designed the garden using a timeless palette of whites, greens, and soft purples, with layers of texture created through deep green and variegated hostas, ornamental grasses, astilbe, salvia, and elegant white hydrangeas. Every plant was thoughtfully selected to thrive in the site’s unique light conditions while creating beauty through every season.
A huge thank you to the Primrose crew, who brought the vision to life with incredible care and craftsmanship. Teamwork truly makes the dream work! 💚

Everyone loves before and after photos, but there’s so much more happening behind the scenes.
A beautiful garden isn’t created by simply putting plants in the ground. It starts with planning, designing, collaborating with clients, sourcing premium materials, placing orders, and coordinating every detail before installation day even arrives.
Then comes managing tight deadlines when someone calls in sick or a delivery is delayed. Working alongside electricians, plumbers, painters, arborists, carpenters, and other trades on the same property at once. Adapting when a client changes the design halfway through the project while still keeping everything on schedule.
It’s spending hours selecting the healthiest plants, choosing premium soil, coordinating deliveries, solving problems as they arise, and making hundreds of small decisions that determine whether a garden simply looks beautiful today or thrives for years to come.
And when the workday ends for most people, the trucks still need cleaning, tools need sharpening, equipment needs maintenance, waste needs dumping, supplies need restocking, and tomorrow’s project needs preparing.
The gardens you see on this page are the result of decades of experience, education, planning, problem solving, project management, and a lot of hard work. The finished garden is the part most people see but everything leading up to it is what truly makes it successful….and of course a great team!🌿

The best sign of a successful garden? Nature approves. 🐝🌿
Freshly planted and already welcoming pollinators.

Before ➡️ After 🌿
From lawn to landscape in just one day!
Our clients wanted a garden inspired by their love of the gardens of Spain—light, airy, and full of movement. We brought that vision to life with graceful ornamental grasses, a beautiful red Japanese maple, and timeless favourites like purple salvia, white speedwell, hydrangeas, and layers of blue and variegated hostas to create year round texture and interest.
While the transformation is dramatic today, the real magic happens over the next few years as the plants mature, soften, and grow together into a lush, established landscape.
Every garden we design is created not just for today, but for what it will become.🌱

While the stonework gives this space its structure, the right plants are what truly bring it to life! This border with contrasting textures and pops of chartreuse and deep purple create a lush, welcoming journey up the steps. Swipe left to see some of our crew hard at work behind the scenes🌱

Good things take time🌱
Did you know a Trillium can take 7 years to produce its first flower? Coincidentally, Primrose Gardening and design is officially 7 years old this season!
Whether it’s a forest floor or a local business, the best things are built on deep roots, steady work and a little patience. Happy Spring! 🌿🤍

First signs of spring 🌱
Snowdrops are a reminder that even after the longest winters, life returns, quietly, gently, and right on time. A little bundle of light on a rainy day.
