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.

Always Growing
A favorite of mine Deborah, Magnolia ‘Elizabeth’: http://tinyurl.com/yk2x6fr
Dave, My favorite-Magnolia “Yellow Butterflies”. I had the pleasure of knowing Phil Savage, and I plant his magnolias whenever I can. I will be sure to post pictures of mine when the time comes. I did plant one “Elizabeth”-it is now at least 18 feet tall. If I find a picture, I will post it. I like hearing from you about plants-thanks. Deborah
Ooooo lovely, I’m off to look it up!
