The formula is simple

✓ 60% Calm
✓ 30% Color
✓ 10% Contrast

A refined border starts with a calm foundation, a repeated color story, and just enough contrast to guide the eye.

3 steps to Low Upkeep

✓ Select for Site (Sun, soil, water)
✓ Protect the Soil (2-3” Mulch)
✓ Plant in “Drifts” (Repeat with Intention)

Design smarter, not harder.

Small Garden. Big Depth.

✓ Curves & Soft Edges
✓ Hot-to-Cool Planting
✓ Vertical Layering

Small spaces don’t always need less.
They need intentional design.

Retain → Anchor → Flow

✓ Retain for structure
✓ Anchor to stabilize the slope
✓ Flow for softness and movement

A slope can become one of the most beautiful parts of the garden when the land is worked with, not against.

The Rule of Odds

Group in threes for a softer composition
✓ 5, 7, or 9 for larger beds
✓ Apply vertically (Thriller, Filler, Spiller)
✓ Pairs work best when symmetry is the goal

Pattern is what gives planting its rhythm.

A well-designed garden should live beautifully beyond daylight.

Three ways to design for the after hours:
• The White & Silver Foliage
• Aromatic Immersion
• Strategic Light & Shadowing

The most memorable gardens are the ones that still hold you after the daylight fades 🌙

Pruning isn’t just maintenance, it’s part of shaping the garden 🌷

Different types of pruning serve different purposes:
• Formative pruning sets early direction
• Structural pruning supports strong, balanced growth
• Fine pruning improves health and shape
• Restorative pruning helps older or damaged plants recover

We highlighted 3 techniques:
• Thinning for airflow and light
• 45-degree cuts above an outward-facing bud to guide growth
• Heading back for density and fuller branching

Good pruning is also about timing. Wait until bloom is finished, reserve structural work for all of winter, and shape after the first flush of growth.

Beyond Beauty (The 3 H’s)

Thoughtful garden design can support:
• Health through fresh air, light, and movement.
• Happiness through quiet space to pause and reflect.
• Horticulture through planting that invites interaction.

A garden should be more than a view. It should be a personal sanctuary designed for well-being.
