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!
Love the fall. #climbinghydrangea #totemfarmgarden #catskillgardens #donstathamblog

Late August foggy garden #Donstathamblog #totemfarmgarden #donstathamgarden #catskillgardens #angelicagigas
great time of year in my garden; anticipation of fall. —- love it!
the most beautiful winter morning in memory. i know i over post thus view but i just couldn’t help myself this morning; swipe to see the rest; it is worth it
my garden on 3/20/20 after a partial spring cleanup; at least 2 to 3 weeks ahead of schedule; there is usually still some snow around. anxious to here if the nurseries and landscaping materials supply chain will shut down; that will be sad.
Not over yet: Late August garden. #donstathamblog #totemfarmgarden #lilyblackbeauty #echinacrawhiteswan #catskillgardens #monardaparade
Sundown on the new Red House gardens. It’s a Chartreuse and green dream for us during this really beautiful spring we’re having here upstate. We hope you all are enjoying it wherever you are!
Autumn keeps on giving. Moss on steps, stewartia and aconitum.#donstathamblog #totemfarmgarden #catskillgardens
Prunus Autumnalis- Autumn Cherry. Great flowering spring tree and terrific autumn color. #totemfarmgarden #donstathamblog #catskillgardens #prunusautumnalis
Favorite client garden after a day of fluffing it up.
Taking in the last of our beloved tropicals before the inevitable frost that will come. But for right now I’m really pleased with how this container at the red house filled out and how the vignette developed around it. Turning a huge steel duct into the centerpiece of our garden is just one of the fun ah-ha things we cultivate constantly around our home and gardens to great effect. .
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. .
it’s all about the light . . .

Best Fall I can remember. Veil of Donald Wyman crabapples. Stewartia in background. #donstathamblog #totemfarmgarden #catskillgardens #donaldwymancrabapple #autumngarden
Golden light shining on all the new grasses and shrubs we picked up pondside_nursery for the backbone of the new red house gardens.

11/21 in my garden. after my fall uncleanup. I think I like it better a little tidier but I got inspired by the light; these were taken in the very early afternoon when the light is always too flat.
Counting the hours before our first hard frost. The Aconitum napellus ( blue flower) just started blooming last week. #aconitumnapellus #totemfarmgarden #catskillgardens #donstathamblog #autumngarden

June garden: thinking about the cooler palette of white, pale yellow. Garden colors are so hot in August.#donstathamblog #totemfarmgarden #junegarden #catskillgardens
another spring cleanup that inspired a post. we installed this design in 2012 & 2013 and it was a huge opportunity given the grandeur of the palette. we did a lot of pruning and beating back of Diervilla lonicera (won’t make that same mistake again) and generally fluffed for a couple of days.
