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!

🐝POLLINATOR FLOWERS 🐝

To make a praire it takes a clover and one bee.
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
if bees are few.

Dandelions are among the first sips of spring available to our bee friends, and largely set the tone for how the season will go. No dandelions, no bees, no pollination, no garden.
Wait for these guys to go to seed before mowing or pulling, the bees will thank you by energetically pollinating your garden and giving you a bountiful harvest. 🙏👌

I can’t really take much credit for this but sometimes when I go to our front door I am just awed; actually, it would be quite different without years of tweaking and stewardship but nature gets the real kudos.

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 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. ...
