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.

Wow, that bleacher setup looks like a glorious middle finger to the bleakness of winter. Lovely!
Dear Dave, the bleacher is a plant staging device English gardeners call a “theatre”. Lots of them were and are built to hold and exhibit prize auricula primroses. Only the English would see a staging of plants as high drama. Love that. Deborah
Thank you for the gorgeous photos of what’s to come! Pansies are a favorite here in my east coast garden. They are one of the first things I can plant each year to keep the perennials company until they reach their peak. Love the pussy willow post too!
