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.

Beautiful…love you post and ideas…Thanks Judy
Oh, Sun on Detroit ! thank you for the colors, the flowers and the light. Here, we have the worst spring since 10 years. Rain, grey sky, cold. Everybody looks sad…
Delphine, I am sorry for your grey skies-I hope they lift soon, my friend. Deborah
Lovely spring pics! It’s hard to believe that your ground was covered by snow just a short time ago.
Kris, The transition from winter to spring-very fast-shockingly fast. Today-90 degrees. I am making a concerted effort to take the time to enjoy the spring. The redbuds and lilacs have been especially beautiful. Deborah
What is the green shrub in the spring pots pix in your blog?
Dear Mary, it is lemon cypress. best, Deborah
Lovely! What is the purple flower around the cypress tree?
Thanks,
Shannon
