Year-round Gardens

Year-round gardenRichly textured Dwarf Conifers surrounding an island of smooth, green lawn work the magic of contrast in this garden. Without the lawn, the garden would be too "busy" and lacking evergreens the yard would be revealed as boxy and boring.
 
EvergreensConcealed by a fringe of Miniature Evergreens, a tiny stream falls into a deep, echoing chamber making a most delicious, mysterious sound. Every evergreen tree has dwarf forms, some are tiny and others just half size, but they all grow larger as they mature.
 
Winter colorsWinter actually brings out different bright colors in a collection of Dwarf Conifers. The contrast of gold, green and blue against a carpet of snow brings unexpected delight on a winter morning.
 
ConifersWeeping, mounding, spreading conifers artfully arranged with a spine of boulders are one of the loveliest, longest lasting investments that can be made in a landscape. Every year adds more interest and value.
 
SunporchLooking for a view, and need privacy as well? A series of gentle berms planted with Dwarf Conifers, rare shrubs and trees conceal this sunporch all year.
 
Busy streetSurprise! You are looking out at a well-trafficked street, but sunshine pours in and birds gather just outside the windows, as secure as in any nature preserve.
 

RoofGreen roofs like this one at Rice Creek Gardens create a sense of fun, but are practical as well, insulating the building and capturing runoff. Spring and summer brings a carpet of flowers, and even in frost and snow fascinating textures are revealed.
