A Beautiful Four Season Garden

July 13th, 2016

Hillside

While we may be wilting in the heat and humidity, this garden couldn’t be happier!  This gorgeous hillside planting can be viewed from our client’s deck and inside from any window along the back of the home .  It eases into spring as the shrubs and perennials begin to wake up after a sleepy winter, but then the sizzle of a St Louis summer really kicks these plants into high gear!  This is just a glimpse of the many colors, textures and shapes that adorn this hillside.  Why settle for a turf mound when you could experience the beauty of a well planned garden design?  Spring and summer flowering shrubs and ornamental trees provide year round interest and structure, an important element of a good design.  Native perennials such as Coneflower and Rudbeckia welcome butterflies and bees to this party on the hill.  The textured foliage and many shades of hosta provide cool relief along the shadier edge of the bed under the canopy of a beautiful old tree.  Our designers pulled all of these elements together to create a four season garden for our clients, and we would be happy to do the same for you!
