Cold frames are a terrific way to extend the growing season on both ends; serving as mini-greenhouses they allow your garden to keep producing in cold weather months when growing would otherwise be impossible. These beautiful, locally made cedar cold frames measure 24″x 44″ and slope from 5″ in front to 24″ in back (custom built sizes are also available). A temperature sensitive piston automatically opens and closes the lid as-need to create a perfect climate for your plants.

Design ideas for a mid-century modern lap backyard concrete and rectangular landscaping in Orange County.

A raised garden bed made of retaining wall blocks is sturdy, accessible, and ideal for supplying this family's kitchen with fresh herbs and edibles. The gravel surround and dry creek bed act as natural dividers for the different uses in the new yard. Additional benefits: Thirsty lawn space has been reduced significantly but without sacrificing it entirely. The brand new native plantings, which are small at first installation, have been positioned to allow comfortable growth in coming months to form a mature, well-rounded garden.

Saturday July 18, 3:30 to 6:00pm | Lakeville Native Wildflower Meadow and Woodland Garden Larry Weaner of Larry Weaner Landscape Associates In the area surrounding Lake Wononskopomuc in northwest Connecticut, two landscapes, each distinct yet inspired by the region’s natural environment, offer insight into the design of native landscapes and the role of the landscape architect in determining the trajectory of site evolution. Once a field of barren turf located along the lake’s northern shoreline, the first site has been transformed into a mature, native meadow, with spectacular diversity and full floral display. The second site, a more recent woodland planting on the lake’s eastern shoreline, supports a landscape in an earlier stage of evolution. While evidence of establishment techniques remain visible, this season marks a distinct moment in the landscape’s advance toward full maturity. Despite their modest size, these landscapes provide a momentous occasion to better understand designed, native landscapes and their growth and evolution. Born in the mind of the designer and bearing his thumbprint, these native landscapes spring from the dance between humans and the patterns and processes of nature.

A selection of our native Evergreen Huckleberry. A foundation plant for every landscape. Works perfectly as a hedge or stand alone shrub to 5 feet. Red-bronze new growth lends a highlight to this gem that thrives in sun or shade, drought or moist conditions. Photo by Gil Schieber, Skipley Farm

MULCH is an optional layer of material applied to the surface of an area of soil mostly around trees, flowers and plants. The purpose of mulch is the following: - To conserve moisture - To improve the fertility and health of the soil (for that reason we prefer to use mulch instead of retail fertilizer around flowers and vegetable plants.) - To reduce weed growth (some weeds could still go through mulch if the weed control fabric has not been placed under the mulch.) - To increase the visual appeal of the area
