September so far 🍂

Swipe to the end to see a couple BEFORE photos from our cherished piedmont project! Last two photos taken in June of 2024. First photo, same location as of a few days ago! We’ve worked in a few areas on site and it has been so much fun to build this massive piece of art.
We were thrilled about the weather breaking this morning and celebrated by moving the rest of 8 yards of compost. We are checking off the first step of many on the way to a native low/no-mow lawn! Starting with our soil health first.
This yard re-imagination is in celebration of a long lived Sweetgum, standing shorter now but still just as proud. A place for birds or bats to nest, even now. Too many storms causing damage in the past and too much stress this year led to a much brighter exposure. When trees die the canopy changes, look at this as an opportunity to reimagine your spaces.
Ok bye for now🍂

First week of September, The heat this year is something you would start a diary about.

Figs are putting on good growth and loving this heat

Blue mistflower Greggii

We get to harvest this little snack pretty soon! 😌 Opuntia spp.

The rose moss in our walkway is the only plant pictured that isn’t actively asking for water. Remember to focus on watering your trees, newly planted and mature!

It is once again time to make a tomato tart!!! 🍅

Buffalograss and remnant granite patio looking good

Desert Willow grown from seed!

it’s just to hot outside to hand water, so in honor of that, here are some of our neglected tropicals 🤣

Recent inspirations: From the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge and on to eastern Edward’s Plateau.

The Wichita Wildlife Refuge employs prescription burning in order to maintain the prairie.
Knoxville, TN has residential burning procedures that allow for responsible prescribed burning.
In the Edward’s Plateau region there’s more emphases on water management and controlled burning isn’t needed because of the lack of dense foliage.

How fantastic to see and read landscapes in so many eco regions based on plants that appear on the trail in front of you!

T Minus 23 days until our Bel Air Garden turns One!

What a whirlwind it has been. Process seen here went as follows:
- Cover Bermuda grass with shingled cardboard, overlap by 6”
- Cover cardboard in 3”+ of high quality finished compost
- Now you are ready to plant and mulch!
- Plants are more ecologically relevant and resilient if native to our area!
- Mulch should be an undyed natural wood product, think pine bark or cedar mulch
- If planting during summer, Water for the first month and occasionally if drought conditions exist in first season with a classic oscillating yard sprinkler and be sure to water deeply. A hose timer can help.

Our sprinklers have been off this year. We are seeing the real impact of increased water infiltration as well as holding capacity and we can’t wait to continue creating more of this in our community.

I paused at the door after bringing out the recycling. Turned around to a monarch visitor that was dancing around our swamp milkweed. The garden has so many delights that pull your attention in!
Once fueled up our visitor delighted in acrobatics all around the yard, finding invisible thermal currents around the brick walls all while effortlessly fluttering about. Nectar from the one and only Swamp Milkweed! Rest stops included today were Shumard Oak and Ohio Spiderwort while Youpon Holly, Bald Cypress and Fragrant Sumac got excited flutterby’s
This is your reminder to take a moment and step out into the garden, listen to the birds, bees, and to spot the butterflies. Say a little thank you to the web of life around you. Without it we wouldn’t be here.

Cozy vibes only while walking through our client’s front yard. We are coming up on two years in this garden and it’s so exciting to watch ❤️🪲🪱

Special thanks to everyone who supports what we do, it means the world to us and to the birds and bugs 🐛 and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Check out this limited edition yard sign, it’s all the American Robin’s are talking about!

Today we’re working in the shade of a huge oak 🌳Working to build a permeable stone patio with low root disturbance to make sure she continues to be happy and allow accessible enjoyment of her shade.

Resting this morning and creating to-do lists. You really couldn’t ask for better weather to contemplate all the needs of the coming week. Up-potting a few tomato and pepper varieties, starting next round of veggies, paying bills and the tax lady, continuing on design and numbers, need to buy dog food, the tasks never end but that’s ok. All the while, I’m surrounded by bird calls, frogs and the beating wings of so many creatures.

- American Plum
- Paw-paw
