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 love Howard and Milo. They are synonymous wirh DTW and DS. I can not imagine one without the other. Another favorite entry.
I so love pictures of dogs in the garden. Thank you – they are just great. What fun.
I’m a lifetime lover of german shepherds and I have a long-haired one now. But I often have thought that if I ever wanted to get a smaller dog, I’d be interested in learning more about corgis. I think the picture of your long haired corgi may have just sealed the deal for me, he is beautiful!
He has quite the personality-I never had a dog that talks so much! I’ve always had Newfoundlands-these are my first Cardigan Corgis-they are great companions.
