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.

Seriously? You beat me with 3 hours. My blog post today is called “Tickled Pink.” so funny. Love your photos. Isn’t it amazing right now how shrubs and trees seem to explode? You’re way ahead though, don’t have my phlox blooming. Or perhaps yours is in the greenhouse?
Dear Annelie, this is annual phlox-Phlox drummondii-not perennial phlox. Once the night temperatures are above 35 degrees, they are good to be planted outdoors. Deborah
Deborah, I live in New York and I love the look of giant agave in large concrete pots, have you ever used them ???? if so, have you had much luck ???
Dear Maria, I have written 2 posts on agaves in pots- type in the search line Taking the Agave Home, and At A Glance:Agave. They do really well in pots. I do trim the thorns off, so no one gets stabbed by them. Deborah
