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!
How does thy garden grow? Quickly!! Oh happy day, see you later… we are open 12-6

I get so excited this time of year that I get out of the car and can’t help but run around and take pictures; it makes me feel like a kid with the air quality, breeze and light and suddenly everything looks beautiful
Excited to get the #Limelight Hydrangeas and #Paul’sGloryHostas along our pathway. There’s a lot of room for other plants but I thought this was a good start. Thank you stephanie_cristalli for your gardening inspiration. You have the best hydrangeas ever. I miss my yearly bouquet so much I had to plant my own!!
I am such a sucker for any opportunity to put in a rock garden; I just love the way a variety of stones and gravel juxtapose with plants as specimens or masses
some early fall glimpses.
In an autumn garden there are seeds for tomorrow and still a blossom or two. Hope dares even a new bud. #begentlewitheachother #gratitude #outdoorwoman #catskillgardens #hudsonvalleyart #hopefortomorrow #alwaysanartist
After my recent experience of trying to rejuvenate this huge rugosa project, I am a little obsessed. Here are some photos of the history:
Callicarpa americana, or American beautyberry, is another native shrub that looks great in the garden and in floral arrangements. Unfortunately, the berries tend to shatter which means they are not ideal for dried arrangements. Love this color! #callicarpa #beautyberry #nativeshrubs #berries #catskillgardens #naturephotography #landscapedesign #elmgardendesign
more spring images from my Cabin Garden; the bright fresh greens against the more austere backdrop stirs something emotionally
I think this little shade garden between a woodland patio and rustic walk we put in looks sweet this year.

We have steadily been working away on all our fall clean ups for the gardens we have installed over the years. I have actually never sat on this bench before, but this has always been one of my favorite vignettes. Early new year's resolution is to find better balance in our lives and I think I will start by putting 'sitting on this bench next year' at the top of my list. Tree is crabapple 'Royal Raindrops'. #gardendesign #catskillgardens #barnscape #gardenbench #elmgardendesign
we did this “Japanese influenced” garden years ago. it is a lot for the home owner (and dear friend) to maintain but it still makes me happy; whenever I drive by I have to stop and take a couple of photos.
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.
This huge rugosa garden (not my idea!! - I tried to talk the client out of it) was created 6 years ago. It is such a beast to keep looking good.
The chair beckons and in my mind's eye, I sit and smile. Focal points keep us grounded even if we never reach them. #catskillgardens #littlelimehydrangea #meditationspace #hamlet
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. 😎🌮🍔🌭🍦🍨
My first #garlicharvest - there is way more than it looks - 120 heads or so. Hope I cure it properly.
And just like that…..

In progress photos of the excavation, boulder placement, berm creation, gravel for drainage, muddy mess with healed in reclaimed rugosas
Finally a drone shot of the freshly finished product with seeding and mulching to restore grass with different straws making a patchwork top border.
