The cold North winds are howling, the snowflakes are flying and thoughts of outdoor gardening have taken a backseat to the hustle and bustle of holiday preparation. Don't miss this window of opportunity! Winter's sepia tones allow you to take an objective look at the 'bones' of your garden now that it is devoid of its blossoms and foliage. Is there a neglected corner of the garden that needs a focal point? You can create four-season drama and interest with a properly placed objet d'art. Imagine the stark beauty of a well-sited classic urn... An unexpected piece of statuary tucked into a grove of evergreens. By fortifying the underlying skeleton of the garden, you'll find your landscape will look good all year long. One of our clients remarked that she was spending considerably less money per year on annuals because her well-chosen permanent pieces have filled in some of the big 'black holes' in her garden and now provide year-round interest. 

Create seasonal, not just holiday displays for long-lasting beauty:

A simple windowbox can be a dramatic seasonal still-life! Artfully arranged branches, berries and pinecones add a burst of color and textural interest. Flank the front entrance with a pair of beautiful urns filled with crabapple branches, boxwood, cedar or holly trimmings, pinecones and tiny white lights for a beautiful, inexpensive display that is easily changed. A bare topiary form looks stunning when entwined with tiny lights, set into a bed of evergreen boughs or moss and nestled in a big, beautiful planter. All of these designs will still look fresh long after the holidays are over!  

A Bit of Britain Has Arrived in Conshohocken!

We've just acquired a wonderful collection of antique English chimney pots. These charming, quirky antiques once punctuated the English skyline, sitting atop masonry chimneys, sending the smoke from the coal and peat fires skyward. These Brits are looking to spend their retirement tucked among blooms in the garden, standing guard at an entry filled with flowers, or holding up a tabletop on a lovely patio.
