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.

I’m appreciating your great pots of bundles of colorful branches/twings which do brighten up the whole winter. While hoping this cold doesn’t last too long we are happily watching a little snowdrop trying to show it’s face, In Portland, OR.
I would venture to say we have a while before the snowdrops come up. The main thing for me is that last spring never happened, giving the prolonged freeze we had in April. This will be a very special spring-2 years in the making!
Deborah,
Your photos show all of us that you don’t need to buy a ticket or wait in a line to see the beauty, no matter what the season, that nature and the weather gives us every single day. Gracie, my corgi, especially likes the last photo.
Dear Anne, this is so well put. My corgis are too fun to watch in the snow. They know so well what is going on at ground level! Deborah
