If you enjoy the plants, gardens and seasonal things I share here through EARTHeim Landscape Design, I’d love to invite you to follow my EARTHeim Market Stand page.

The Market Stand is where I share the things I grow, make and collect throughout the seasons, this weekend there’s quite a mix.

I have a couple dozen of potted plants available, and most are only $1, with just a few priced at $2, $3 or $5. These are extra plants that I’d much rather see find a place in someone’s garden!

Current plants include:

• Great Blue Lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica) — Kentucky native with beautiful blue flowers and great pollinator value
• Shrubby St. John’s Wort (Hypericum prolificum) — native small shrub with bright yellow flowers
• Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) — fragrant perennial with purple flower spikes loved by pollinators
• Native Strawberry — low-growing native groundcover
• Hostas — an easy choice for shady areas
• Walker’s Low Catmint — long-blooming lavender-blue perennial
• Plus a few mixed pots with Great Blue Lobelia paired with other plants

Feel free to research any of the plant names to see whether one might be a good fit for your own garden. 🌱

🌸 This weekend at the Market Stand: I’ll also have my garden-grown fresh cut flowers, including several arrangements in vintage vases, along with an assortment of inexpensive vintage finds.

🍊 And I’ve been making something new for fall — garden simmering potpourri using materials from my garden along with dried orange and cinnamon. They’re little one-use mixes to add to water and gently simmer for a cozy seasonal scent.

The Market Stand gives me a place to share another side of what I love — growing plants and flowers, crafting, reusing interesting old pieces, and seeing good things find a new home.

Follow the EARTHeim Market Stand page to see what’s available each week and what I’m making as the seasons change!

🌿 Did you know EARTHeim has a little market, too?

In addition to EARTHeim Landscape Design, I have EARTHeim Market, a small seasonal market stand featuring things I grow, make, and find.

During the growing season, you'll find cut flowers and potted plants, along with handmade and seasonal items. I also enjoy finding ways to use what I grow in my own garden to create botanical, nature-inspired, and gift items throughout the year.

From time to time, I'll have special seasonal offerings and pop-up events, too — including a Fall Vintage Pop-Up coming to the stand this weekend!

You can follow the EARTHeim Market page to see what's currently available, what's coming to the stand each weekend, and handmade or gift items that can be purchased directly and picked up locally.

If you enjoy flowers, gardening, handmade goods, and finding something a little different, come follow along! 🌸🌿

A little balance in the garden. This custom Yin-Yang patio space is officially complete! The design combines contrasting paver colors and patterns to create the Yin-Yang symbol while tying the space into the column stonework, gravel garden, and timber pergola.

I love projects that give an outdoor space its own personality. A landscape doesn’t have to be ordinary—it can reflect something meaningful to the people who live there while still feeling connected to the garden around it.

I now have available the following trees for sale:

Dawn Redwood: 6’+ tall. $100
With free sedge!

American Hornbeam: 7’ tall. $100
With free black eyes Susan’s and Joe pye!

Eastern Hemlock: 5’ tall. $150

(The catalpa and basswood have sold)

Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides)

One of the fastest-growing shade trees, reaching 70+ feet tall, with soft, feathery foliage that turns a beautiful copper color in fall before dropping for winter. It thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for larger properties. A living fossil and a stunning specimen tree, it provides beauty, shade, and valuable wildlife habitat.

SOLD American Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana)

A slow to moderate-growing native understory tree that matures around 20–35 feet tall, perfect for smaller landscapes. It prefers part shade to shade and moist, well-drained soils but adapts to a variety of conditions. With beautiful blue-gray “musclewood” bark, outstanding fall color, and excellent wildlife value, it’s one of Kentucky’s most underused native trees.

Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis)

A graceful evergreen that typically reaches 40–70 feet tall, growing at a slow to moderate rate into a soft, pyramidal form. It thrives in moist soils with partial shade, though it tolerates more sun with adequate moisture. Its year-round greenery provides privacy, nesting habitat for birds, and a peaceful woodland character that’s hard to match.

I unfortunately cannot plant trees in my yard due to overhead transmission lines.

Some projects take patience, precision, and countless individual stones.

This custom natural stone yin-yang patio is finally complete beneath a timber-frame style pergola, creating a peaceful gathering space that reflects balance, craftsmanship, and timeless materials.

Every piece of this patio was individually selected and placed to create a one-of-a-kind design that will be enjoyed for years to come.

It’s always rewarding to see a vision become reality.

One of the small details that can make a big difference in a tree’s long-term health is exposing the root flare.

Today we planted around an existing dogwood. Before doing anything else, I performed a root collar excavation, removing a couple of inches of excess soil and mulch that had built up around the base of the trunk. In this case, it wasn’t buried too deeply, but sometimes I have to remove much more before the tree’s natural root flare is visible.

Trees aren’t meant to look like telephone poles going straight into the ground. At the base of the trunk, it should gently widen where the roots begin. When soil or mulch is piled against the trunk for years, it can contribute to decline, decay, girdling roots, and other long-term problems.

After exposing the root flare, we expanded the mulch ring and added a groundcover that will provide beautiful spring blooms while helping suppress weeds and protect the soil.

Sometimes the most important improvements in a landscape aren’t the most obvious—but they’re the ones that help plants thrive for years to come.

🌳 Have you ever noticed a tree in your yard that looks like the trunk disappears straight into the ground? It may be worth taking a closer look.

EARTHeim did pretty good at the Bluegrass Flower Show. It was so fun seeing all the creations!

Had a good time this week with Organic Association of Kentucky learning about organic methods and pollinator habitat at K State Farm. It was a hot but beautiful day.
