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.

Ah. I love Buck Week. Fantastic creations!
The oak and concrete garden table is my favorite, at least from photographs. But then, there are so many great designs photographed here that it is hard to decide the best. Let’s have another Buck Week next year too.
Dear Rob, he does a pretty incredible job of making all of his clients feel like they got the best. I like the diversity-he is comfortable in many circles. Deborah
i’m in love with the round 4 sections steel table….
Dear Delphine, the top of this table is made from galvanized pans-some 4″ deep-so you can fill each section with whatever you like. In this case, we did selaginella (club moss) and tumbled recycled bottle glass. The table pulls apart, and can be used as 4 separate tables. I’ll send pictures of how we used it at a fundraiser. The people who purchased it-I have no idea what they did with it. Deborah
I love the sculpture, it is evocative of a nice shagbark hickory! :o)
This feels good-it was supposed to!
Deborah, is the ‘shagbark’ sculpture for sale?
Dear Dave, it was a commission for the city of Sault Ste Marie Michigan. I wrote about it in a post entitled “A sculpture for the City” , if you want to look it up. Deborah
