To think that at this same time both last year and in 2012 we had bulbs such as Aconite in bloom by now

Below: The garden a year earlier- and a only a month ahead of the pic above!

And six weeks ahead of top pic…… ah…spring…bring it on!!!!!

Aconites (non-native, but lovely all the same, and very early, naturalizes easily)

 

Now is a fine time to consider a fresh garden design ;  plan a spring and summer collection for the wooded garden, or a more traditional design, with pavers, flagstone pathways, perhaps a water feature and landscape lighting? Call us @ Max’s Greener Places, maxlandscape.com, ask for Ed Max, designer, cert, arborist, and natutralist

the best colors can be seen in the early wildflower garden,

Mid summer  woodlands: fern, hemlocks,

Natural landscapes, with Redbud, magnolias, bluebells, native plants
