Deborah Silver is a landscape and garden designer whose firm, Deborah Silver and Co Inc, opened its doors in 1986. She opened Detroit Garden Works, a retail store devoted to fine and unusual garden ornament and specialty plants, in 1996. In 2004, she opened the Branch studio, a subsidiary of the landscape company which designs and manufactures garden ornament in a variety of media. Though her formal education is in English literature and biology, she worked as a fine artist in watercolor and pastel from 1972-1983. A job in a nursery, to help support herself as an artist in the early 80’s evolved into a career in landscape and garden design. Her landscape design and installation projects combine a thorough knowledge of horticulture with an artist’s eye for design. Her three companies provide a wide range of products and services to the serious gardener. She has been writing this journal style blog since April of 2009.

That is my kind of dog!!!
I have showed these photos of Milo’s winter fearlessness to everyone walking into the office today. And look at those pantaloons, second to last photo — at least that’s what we call them.
Is he not something?! Yes, those are his pantaloons-it took hours for all of those snowballs to melt.
Because you are not covered in fur that has evolved to resist the gales of Wales’ rugged terrain?
C’mon. Corgis were built for wind and sleet. They love winter.
Dear Jenn, Howard wants nothing to do with the snow and sleet! He will only go out if Milo makes a path for him. Since Milo is built like a billiard table, he does a great job plowing on his first pass. You are right-that fur is incredible insulation. He never feels cold to the touch. In the summer, Howard will stretch out on the driveway when it is 80-Milo is inside, in the air conditioned office. Deborah
