Garden Stories

John Dourley looking very dapper in the lovely morning sunshine yesterday. Also a gorgeous little Myrtus c. ‘compacta’ in full winter fruit stage. Apparently these little grapelets are edible, though far from palatable.

A couple before and after shots of this NE Roseway project. Patio, patio cover, and planting design are the standouts in this backyard. We finished in October, just in time to test out the new shelter.

Year three at this Tabor property. The perennials are really starting to fill out, creating some nice compositions. An example of how good a front yard can look in late summer, when many residential landscapes look well past their prime.

Recent shots from this Tabor garden. Baptisia is stealing the show as it does this time of year. Now in year three, really filing out. Credit to Sue Mitchell for the photos.

Recent shots from our project in Lake Oswego we completed a couple years ago. Is now maintained by our super gardener, (Sue). This backyard possesses a few of our signature design elements: egg-shaped stone patio, stacked stone seat-wall, and layered meadow-style planting design. Thanks to Sue for the great shots!
