here’s a moment in fall when the land becomes energized.
The lush greens give way to gold, copper, and crimson. The grasses glow against the waning sunlight; and flowers begin to fade—forming seed heads that take on a more subdued beauty.

There’s something special about a garden after dark.
Today, we’re going to start turning our new garden into a moon garden with white-flowering bulbs.
Special thanks to @FlowerbulbsCom. Go there for more education and inspiration.

Two years ago, we decided that the Meadow House cottage gardens needed a little less lawn and a lot more garden.
We mapped out eight separate beds across this tiny one-eighth-acre space. Seven beds got finished. One got left behind. Time to finish! youtu.be/qRRG--cyAHs

Trees are one of those things you really have to think ahead about. They can take decades to reach their full size, so when we started working on the landscape, we wanted to do was get more trees and shrubs in the ground as soon as possible. W/ @espoma

When we bought this property six years ago, there was one building that intimidated us more than any other. This 40-by-60-foot pole barn. It was enormous, unfinished, and—at least at the time—we had absolutely no idea what we were going to do with it.

I find it hard to plant a new garden all at once. Two years ago, I had quite a show of tulips along this new garden border, but once June rolled around, there wasn’t much happening here, so I started to add more perennials and summer blooming bulbs: youtu.be/SFz5BA8OM7s

When wildfire smoke rolled across NY this July, we expected the air outside to be bad. What surprised us... was what was happening inside our house. We'll share what we did to improve air quality inside the house and handle it outside. youtu.be/RHDSLSGtaBE

A gathering space. A vantage point. A birdwatching station. (And, of course, a place for even more plants.) After working on this on and off for 3 years, we finally finished our upper deck.
