A little Labor Day weekend garden dreaming... A gentle slope, stone steps, and a rustic rock wall lead to a tucked-away seating area surrounded by lush plantings to cool the garden down. What a lovely place to spend a long weekend!

Early Spring Magic: Crocus Lawns Made Easy

Plant a crocus lawn for early spring color with minimal effort! These first-blooming flowers create a stunning carpet-like display, delight pollinators, and multiply for yearly bursts of beauty. Once established, crocus lawns are low-maintenance, and their foliage naturally dies back, allowing regular mowing while nourishing bulbs for next year—making them a practical, vibrant, and pollinator-friendly choice.

What did your eye go to first? A focal point is the first thing your eye lands on, the one element that refuses to blend in. Every garden needs one, and once it's there, the rest of the scene arranges itself around it.

It's late August and we're already posting fall. There's a reason for that.

Live Webinar
Celebrate The Magic of Fall with David Culp

David joins us live on Thursday, September 10th for an evening on the fall garden.
6pm ET / 3pm PT
$20 USD includes the replay.

An arrangement like this one doesn't come together on a whim. The berried branches, the late blooms, the dried leaves: they come from a garden where somebody made those choices well in advance. Fall doesn't just arrive. It gets planned, and the planning window is right now.

David will cover the perennials and grasses that carry the season, fall-blooming bulbs, containers built for cooler months, and what to plant in the next few weeks. Q&A with David at the end. Photo by Rob Cardillo

Nature’s Carpet: Vibrant Bulbs for Every Yard

Imagine a lawn bursting with spring blooms! Planting a bulb lawn is easy, low-maintenance, and vibrant, providing early nectar for pollinators. Plant in fall and enjoy naturalizing mini daffodils, crocus, and snowdrops that multiply yearly. Deer-resistant and colorful, bulb lawns need minimal care, less mowing, and deliver stunning, landscapes that support biodiversity and delight gardeners year after year.

A sloped yard can be a challenge, but it can also become one of the most interesting parts of the garden.

This urban front yard pairs cottage-style plantings with a stacked rock wall that helps reinforce the slope. And those plants are doing more than looking pretty: their roots help stabilize the hillside, while foliage helps slow water during heavy rains.

One smart planting tip for slopes: put drought-tolerant plants toward the top and thirstier plants toward the bottom, since water naturally runs downhill. Before you start, also pay attention to the grade, drainage, and how easily you’ll be able to reach everything for maintenance.

Have a slope in your garden you’re trying to figure out? https://www.gardendesign.com/landscape-design/hillside.html
