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.

You are the only one I know who can “grow” wine! I love it.
How fun!
Oh, are these yours? Didn’t you have fuschia in them last year? I loved that scheme. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Two words: Bigger carts!
Dave, you are funny. I don’t need bigger carts- I need to CHOOSE. EDIT. DECIDE! Buck hates this time of year. I haul plants home, and haul them back. I am out there studying the whole scheme in spite of needing to say hi Buck and go to the powder room. I show up at nurseries 30 miles away when they open on Sunday morning looking for a missing link when I am not sure I even have one. But for owning a landscape design/build firm, and Detroit Garden Works-I would be BROKE. My businesses-it would never occur to me to launder money. I launder my obsession! Deborah
I agree – so many choices…so many choices! One choice will not be bad, when one is good – they are just different. I have been known to buy more containers rather than make myself edit, or limit. Oh, it is a slippery slope we are on, this obsession!
