I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the DIY Blogger House as the landscape design professional for the home and I managed to slip a few “DIY” style projects in as well. I’ve had an amazing summer filled with wonderful projects but haven’t had much time to spare blogging here on my personal blog. Continue…

I am excited to say that I’ll be joining my gardening friend, Joy Bossi, of “Joy in the Garden” on her radio show for a few minutes during the next couple of Saturdays. Joy has been a HUGE proponent of Conservation Garden Park and has specifically helped me at a time when I really needed Continue…
A “Near Death Experience”- Seedling Style
April 13, 2012 by · 1 Comment
Actually, for some of my unique heirloom tomatoes and ALL of my baby bell pepper seedlings, it WAS a death experience. Sorry little guys! I approached this ‘seed season’ with far more gusto than usual. After 20 years of growing seeds in my window sills or under lights in the basement I now have access to Continue…

Whew! The last week was a whirlwind! I actually LOVE the Home & Garden Show. I’m an extrovert so talking to hundreds of people about plants etc. is a lot of fun for me! This is the first year in the last five that I am not designing privately and thus was not trolling for Continue…

And this time I don’t mean me with Ahmed! The show was BACK this year with huge crowds and great ideas. One change was that there were more small landscapes by landscapers I haven’t seen at the show before. It was great to see how much interest they could pack into some pretty tight spaces! Continue…

Topher Delaney’s Continue…
Hanging Air Plant Terarrium
January 4, 2012 by · 3 Comments
I’ll admit that I’m really NOT a houseplant person. Not only do I tend to kill them from benign neglect, I also just don’t like the way the take over things (think of the classic Philodendron). You’ve seen this guy, right? All stretched out 6 feet long and held up by thumb tacks as it Continue…
Fall Foliage Perennials
November 14, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
When we think of fall color, we almost always think about trees and shrubs. However, there are a number of great perennials who strut their stuff in a whole new way when the temperatures drop. Wild Geranium, also goes by the awful common name of “Bloody Cranesbill” (Geranium sanguineum) which clearly no one thought through the Continue…

I am very fortunate to work for an awesome garden where they let me explore all kinds of interesting planting ideas. We have our very first fundraising gala event coming up in a few weeks and I’ve been hard at work creating some cool garden art pieces for the auction (which I’ll share in a Continue…
