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.

Love, peace and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too, Silvia! Deborah
Is that a cow loose in your garden, Deborah?!
Rob bought me a moss stuffed life size steel cow sculpture for my birthday years ago!
Looks like Howard and Milo were enjoying the day! Nothing to shovel south of Chicago yet ..it’ll come. I can wait.
I like snow for Christmas-it looks like we are going to get walloped overnight. After last year’s no-snow, I don’t think I’ll mind it. Howard and Milo did enjoy their day-especially Milo, with that Christmas jolly ball.
Merry Christmas- hope you are enjoying some downtime…you deserve it! The store looks beautiful covered in snow.
The snow is so beautiful-love it!! Happy Holidays, Nick.
