Catskill Gardens
With so many obstacles—deer, groundhogs, rabbits, bears, cold long winter, unpredictable weather—gardening in the Catskills is not a piece of cake. But with a little perseverance and patience, the rewards are spectacular!
Tomato bounty at Wildcat Gardens, bumper crop! Mary starts these from seeds and grow lights, amended soil, and supplements, and this is the fruit of her labors! She's a master gardener, I just chill in the chaise lounge drinking lemonade and watch her work! Lucky to have married a farm girl!#catskill nature#catskillsmountains #claryvilleny #claryville #catskillmountains #catskillfarms #catskillgardens
Flowers, doing their amazing job of bringing joy. Much needed. #garden #catskillgardens #gardener #flowerpots #annuals #flowersofinstagram #flowergarden #colorcomposition #flowerjoy #forthebees #forthehummingbirds #forthesoul
The orchestration of summer is building its tempo. Wildflowers, perennials, the Dahlia tubers I kept safe in a cooler all winter and the sunflowers I sowed in March all work together now, supporting the bees hummingbirds and butterflies. It’s such a sense of joy to look over what I’ve so carefully tended.
May Day! Thanks to barnett.eva and lebretteur for preparing the beds, turning the compost, and lighting the way. Looking forward to new growth. Some #catmint and #columbine are up. New surprises to come from wildyarrowfarm
Our a/c is out. Sucks in Carolina heat. So Tom and I get up super early, with owls, the American toads who are singing loud, trying to mate, and the four O'clocks pumping out the fragrance of cheap incense mixed with Easter candy.

Roof rafters in place! It’s been slow going when it seems like only a few hours go by with out rain for the last couple months. #snakethorne #gardenhouse #timberconstruction #windowhouse #tinyhouse #catskills #greatnortherncatskills #hudsonvalleygardens #catskillgardens

Garden Conservancy Open Days - 7/6: My garden and 4 other glorious gardens in our remote Delaware County are open to see this coming weekend. You have to go to the Garden Conservancy website and search for the date and location and register but you can do it!!! It will be a great way to spend a Saturday in the Catskills. Peggy (my amazing wife) may even make some goodies to sit and enjoy on the porch (which is our favorite viewing spot).
This saturated and stormy August has been a bit of a damper on our foraging & outdoor work but our gardens are absolutely thriving in it. The tropicals we interplanted with the grasses and shrubs are bursting with all the humidity and moist soil. The Red House looks like it’s beginning to be engulfed by the garden and that’s just the way we like it. .
Discovered the last of the adorable fairy strawberries and ate them on the spot— (hope the strawberry-thieving robins were watching) you must because the moment you pick them they start to lose their magic. Not sure why, but it’s true. #catskillgardens

I rarely post images of brand new installations but this one is really special and I am very excited about it. We got the opportunity to design and install a beautiful landscape for a village property with a great client. We got to start with a blank canvas and create paths, a courtyard, patio, pergola with swing and several matrix plantings that I can't wait to see in their full glory. There will be multiple framings for sculptures. No, the hose holder is not a sculpture.
It’s the weekend. Come join us by the river, under the willows. Ribs, taco special and yummy cold drinks to stay or to go. Open today at 3:00, tomorrow and Sunday at 1:00. 😎🌮🍔🌭🍦🍨

Very fully summer in the Catskills. Come on up and sweat like mad then go jump in the creak across the street 💦
Golden light shining on all the new grasses and shrubs we picked up pondside_nursery for the backbone of the new red house gardens.

Is it just me or is gardening an addiction? 🤷🏻♀️🪴🌸
Got a SHAGGY HEART? Trim & clean that baby up. There’s only 3 weeks left for that “Summer Romance”. Get with it. #topiary #topiarygarden #heartsabound #showyourlove #catskillgardens #foodforthought True
cucumbers & peppers from the glass mountain inn garden picked for our guests delivered by Sloane. We are the olive garden of Catskill Inns "when you're here, you are family." 😉#upstateny #catskills #catskillgardens #cucumbers #flowergarden #kidswhogarden #healthyeating #glassmountaininn
A drawing about optimism. And about gardening in the Catskills. For chronogram magazine a few years back. Thanks to David Perry and Brian Mahoney. #gardenlife #gardening #animalartist #deer #outdoorplants #yardwork #catskillgardens

Hard to believe we were in the cool evening, special light of the Catskills just over a week ago. Hard to believe some of the gardeners we saw were friends from Manhattan, 25 years ago.
We all need those moments of contrast, those friends and road trips that loosen the rubberbands in our heads. ......
There's a four part story about the road trip on my substack, plantpeople, link in bio. 1,2,3 are out and part for, with deanriddlegardens is coming in a week or so.
