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.

Tara, the one pictured is in my yard-and was there when I bought the house 18 years ago. But nurseries near me do carry them. They do so much better here than the Catawbiense hybrids. Deborah
Love the pics- so fresh & bright!!
You are so amazing. The first thing I reach for in the morning is coffee, then my iPad so I can enjoy your words and visual delights in the garden, food for the soul.
