What a blast! We had plenty of evidence today that our garden community is strong. We had hundreds of visitors-wow! Thanks to each and every one of you who came out today. A special thanks to you Kathe. I am very pleased to have had the chance to meet you face to face. Today-a perfect moment.
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.

So sorry to miss all the fun…looks like it was a real spring party ! Are those hellebores in the second photo…? If so, I am in love.
helleborus Ivory Prince. Wiegand’s sold their entire season’s supply over the weekend-they were gorgeous!
Deborah, a great pleasure to meet the mind behind (and inside) the green. Next time, tea!
Beautiful set up. Wish I could have come by.
