Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Every day I get to work alongside the most hardworking crew of women out in the cold, in the heat, in the rain; tending gardens with so much heart. And to our clients, thank you for trusting us with the places you love. It’s a blessing to spend my days with my hands in the dirt and my feet on this good Michigan earth. Wishing y’all a warm and restful Thanksgiving. 🌿🤎

Well friends, this past April and May we spent a whole month in Ireland, and I’m still thinking about those gardens. 💚🌿
Everywhere you turn, something is blooming, climbing up an old stone wall, or spilling over a path like it’s been there for generations. The colors and textures layer together in that easy, effortless way only nature can manage.
Now we didn’t see much sunshine — folks kept telling us that’s just Ireland — but the few times the sun did break through those clouds, it lit up the whole countryside in the most beautiful way. That’s when you truly understand why they call it the Emerald Isle.
Swipe through and wander with me… Ireland is a gardener’s daydream. ✨🇮🇪

It is time to cut down your herbaceous peonies and tuck them in for winter. Before you take those pruners out make sure you know which type of peony you have. Herbaceous peonies get cut back. Tree peonies do not.
Cutting herbaceous peonies keeps disease and rot from settling in and clearing out every old leaf around the base gives those fresh spring shoots a clean healthy start. We leave our peony cages right where they are so we remember where those plants are sleeping and you will need those cages again when the blooms get big and heavy in the spring.
A little care now brings a whole lot of beauty later and your peonies will thank you come May. 🌸
