  1. Your work is such an inspiration​! Thank you for sharing. May I ask, how long would you expect “pussy willow and pansies” to last before replanting?

    • Deborah Silver says

      Dear CJ, I have seen them go into early July. Sometimes the pussy willow roots, and leafs out.The determining factor is usually high heat, although newer pansy varieties are remarkably heat resistant. best, Deborah

  2. Rob Beebe says

    Nice, oh so very nice Deborah. Seeing these projects tells me “spring is here”.

  3. Jane Joyce says

    I love your work! Thank you for sharing! Do you assemble the centerpiece of eucalyptus and willows before you head out to install and under plant?

    • Deborah Silver says

      Dear Jane, sometimes are centerpieces are constructed, and sometimes they are stuck one piece at a time. It depends. The 6 foot tall centerpieces are usually constructed in the shop. best, Deborah

    Always inspirational- or just fun to look at the color combinations. Thanks Deborah

    I picked up one of your beautiful spring planters at the Open House. Placed it on the patio on view from my office window. Love, love, love.

    Lovely work! Happy Easter.

    Hi Deborah, What are your thoughts about adding curly willow branches to the pussy willow branches in the center of the planter?
    thanks,
    Lisa

  8. Hi Deborah,
    I absolutely love your work and had the chance to see your shop last fall when traveling in Michigan. Fabulous place! I’ve got two long narrow window boxes which I’d like to plant with spring pansies. One is in the first floor and the other on the second. I’d also like to give them some height so they can be seen from a distance. Not sure willow branches will do the trick. Any other ideas? Thanks.

    • Deborah Silver says

      Dear Margaret, pussy willow can be seen from a distance, especially if you use a lot. Other spring things for height: 1 gal upright rosemary, potted ranunculus, lavender, forsythia, lemon cypress, or yellow twig dogwood stems. Of course I don’t know the size of your boxes, or where you garden, but just shopping a nursery or farmer’s market might provide some ideas. best, Deborah

    I love everything…especially the yellow pansies in the V pot.
