    everything looks so fresh and inviting! Is that one rectangular planter with a spiky look made of metal- are those nails or metal spikes on the outside of the container? It is very unique- is it a container sold at Garden Works?

    • Deborah Silver says

      Dear Lisa, this is a steel planter box made at my company Branch Studio that has had several sizes of steel rods welded to the outside.They finish the steel so it is virtually rustproof. This box was custom made for this client, but we do have a fountain at Detroit Garden Works that is made in the same style. best regards, Deborah

    I am a floral designer in Bend OR–when doing arrangements we always say that when its beautiful JUST with GREENS you can’t go wrong when adding the fleurs!
    We LOVE your just greens containers.

    The silver/gray/green combinations are beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever seen green look this good. That single potted silvery green Agave in the silvery gray pot is outstanding. Thanks for showing us how to do it right.

    Serene, vastly original, stunning!

    Maybe the best ever! I love those green schemes, and especially the fig tree “planter box” – WOW!

    Debra, what is underplanted with the palm? Is is some kind of pilea or pepperomia? Everything is this post is stunning!

    • Deborah Silver says

      Dear Donna, it is a pepperomia! It is called Jayde. The leaves are incredible indeed. Older plants are quite tall, compared to other pepperomias. best regards, Deborah

  7. So, so beautiful. In the second picture, what is that glossy philodendron like green under the palm? Such a great texture and gloss.

    As much as I love flowers, I think I like “green” the best – just such a nice foundation and relaxing feeling! Maybe because I live in Las Vegas, NV – I surround myself with green. Flowers are difficult here and don’t last past two months unless they are totally desert oriented.

  9. How fabulous!
    Love the way you define all the greens through shading and rich textures.
    The compositions really animate the various landscapes and enhance each outdoor area.
    Marvelous design as always!

  10. Ms. Silver,
    I’ m a big fan from outside KCMO. Please advise on best fertilizer for boxwoods and when to use? Also, when should they be trimmed and directions for trimming! Beautiful Greens!!! Thanks, Val
