One lone rose blooms against the early fall hue of the hydrangea. A bit magic today. #gardendesigners #landscapedesigning #rosanewdawn #entrygardens #hydrangeaslittlequickfire #frontgardendesign #septembergarden The dazzling white flowers drew me outside to look closer. Clematis’Sweet Autumn’ looks amazing with early morning sunlight. #clematis #gardendesigns #landscapedesing #verticalgarden #smallgardens September blooms in my back garden. Daylilies, Hydrangea ‘Quick Fire’, two Clematis ‘Sweet Autumn’ abloom on deck posts of the lower patio garden make my morning “sweet”. #daylilies #hygrangea #clematis #gardendesigns #landscapedesigning #landscapedesing #mariavonbrincken.com #septemberflowers #shrubs #perennial #vines Star like flowers crown the clematis “Sweet Autumn” while the hydrangeas in the background are shifting from white to pink. #clematis #hydrangeas #gardendesigners #gardendesigns #landscapedesing #landscapedesigning #verticalgarden Morning magic. Sunlight highlights fronds,stems, and panicles. My attention captured, I lingered and savored the silvery morning light on my street pollinator garden. It’s an ongoing experiment in creating wonder with plants that bunnies and groundhogs don’t eat ! And, a garden that thrives in deluge or drought years. #pollinatorgarden #gardendesigners #landscapedesigning #flowergardening #newenglandhome #nativeplant Sweet Autumn’ Clematis about to bloom climbing from the garden below to give me a moment of awe, or happiness, or hope—a ‘Glimmer’. As it was recently defined for me. Hydrangea’Quick Fire’ happily blooming in the background. #clematis #hydrangea #gardendesigners #landscapedesing #verticalgardening Transition from white petals to pink creates this lovely mix I get to savor at my kitchen window. My design goals always include bringing the outside in—views or bouquets. It’s Hydrangea ‘Little Quick Fire’ Late July-Early August coloration. Compare with early July brilliant white petals shown with a daylily flower. #gardendesigners #landscapedesignpros #landscapedesigning #hydrangea #flowergardening #flowering shrubs #hydrangeaLittleQuickFire #designforhire #mariavonbrinckenlandscapedesign This morning’s light was magical@in the shade garden. Clethra’s white panicles glow, hosta leaves and flower spikes, late blooming astilbe all shine. #gardendesigners #shadegarden #clethra #hosta #astilbes #morninginspiration A bit white phlox ‘David’ ? Avoided the hedgehog by coming up thru the sedum! Clever. I love the way white flowers light up, create contrast for the deeper hues, and freshen the summer garden. #gardendesigners #julygarden #phloxpaniculata paniculata #landscapedesing Even messy I’m enjoying this garden! #gardendesigners #shadygarden #julygarden A snip here, one there, and you have a bouquet! Daylilies and hydrangeas my favorites today. #gardendesigns #landscapedesigning #hydrangea #daylilies Savored moments of the new garden planted last year. Emphasis on pollinators but also using some of my day-lily collection. #gardendesigners #pollinatorgarden #naturalgarden #landscapedesignpros #mariavonbrincken.com A few stems from my garden bring it inside so I can enjoy it more!#gardendesigns #gardendesigners #landscapedesigning Summer Solstice Joy! 1) A gentle fragrance wafts thru my gardens from back to front. It’s the lovely small tree Lilac reticulata or Japanese lilac tree blooming now. It’s planted in my narrow side garden to give me privacy! 2) I’m glad I actually tied the climbing rose “New Dawn” to the trellis this year. 3) with roses abloom a cottage style look. 4) Pink astilbes just began blooming in the shade garden. As seen when I lean over my deck. #landscapedesigning #gardendesigners #lilacreticulata #rosanewdawn #astilbe #mariavonbrinckenlandscapedesign Garden highlights early June. It’s beauty asks me to pause, savor, and as I do I feel so grateful. #dogwoods #peonies #salvias #nepetas #gardendesigners #landscapedesigning New colors. New wonders to savor this morning. 60 seconds of just looking and enjoying before I hopped in my car and drove away! Grateful. #maygarden #dogwoodtree #rhododendron #landscapedesigning #gardendesigns #garden designer #mariavonbrinckenlandscapedesign Abundant reddish bell shaped flowers saturates my eyes. Love the shrub Enkianthus. Love it combined with contrasting foliage drift of Pieris “Little Heath” behind it to showcase the shape. And the large masses of perennials at its base. Photos 2-4 details and earlier in the season. #enkianthus #pieris #shrubs #gardendesigners #landscapedesigning #mariavonbrinckenlandscapedesign Discovered the “Forget -me-nots” in my side shade garden. That color blue is so riveting, yet as they are spring ephemerals, when they go by, I’ll forget them until next year! In combination with Sedge (carex). #forgetmenots #carex, # shadegardens #carex, #garden design Spring colors greet me—pink Lilac, white Dogwood, and pink Dogwood. Reddish new foliage looks like flowers on the Pieris. Especially on a gray day , the flowers and bright foliage stop me for a moment. I find myself breathing deeper and feeling a deep gratitude for their beauty. #lilac, #dogwood, #pieris #gardendesigners #gardendesigns #landscapedesigning #springflowers #forestbathing🌲🌲🌲 Early EarthDay Celebration for me. Visiting New England Botanical Garden. Daffodils carpet the hillside, orange and yellow mostly tulips composition with yellow sedum ground cover, and a rock garden inspiration featuring vertical pieces that evoke waves or mountain ranges. I can imagine the Rock Garden planted with a mixture of deciduous spiky forms and evergreen low mounding shapes with a layering of a flowering perennial. #landscapedesing #gardendesigners #rockgardens #daffodil #earthday #newenglandspring #mariavonbrinckenlandscapedesign #inspiration #tulip Acton Arboretum. Stopped for a few minutes. The rock circle offers a wonderful grading opportunity and perhaps a fire circle, the Curly Willow in a mature size, and what a narrow board walk looks like so-called for homeowners use. Beautiful day, bird call, breeze on skin, fresh air, and sunshine! #landscapedesignideas #gardendesigners #booking spring design #actonarboretum Early Spring blooming Hellebores from my front garden Grace my kitchen window. Lovely on this dreary, drizzly day! #hellebores #gardendesigners #flowergardening Hellebores for color starved New Englanders! Squill, too! Lovely flowers to find while putting out the trash bin! #spring #gardendesigners #helleborus #squill #flowergardening #landscapedesing It's Spring, and Time to book your Landscape Design Consultation! Email me: MvonBrinckenLGD@gmail.com These cheerful Tête-à-Tête Dafs wouldn’t let me go home without them. Glad I kept the wood trough from last year. Happy Spring! #springbulbs #daffodils #gardendesigners Witch Hazel ’Arnold Promise’ lives up to its promise on its lower branches combining nicely with the Rhododendron cat and Pieris ‘Little Health’. Too bad the top is faked out by the fall weather and blooms in November! However, it’s still a treat for winter weary eyes! Snow outlines my winter garden outside my design studio. It’s a work in progress. Many plants have been removed. Im reimagining it as I experiment with plants. New snow collects differently on each kind of plant emphasizing its shape and relationship to its neighboring plants. Savoring this winter view. #gardendesigner #wintergarden #landscapedesigning My winter garden. Took a few minutes to wander and “pause and wonder“. As always soothed, grateful, happy after exploring the patterns and textures and spaces in my garden. #wintergarden #gardendesigner #landscapedesignpros #mariavonbrinckenlandscapedesign #broadleafevergreens Blooming Chrysanthemums add fall color and welcome to the entry garden. #autumngarden #gardendesigns #landscapedesigning #entrygarden #mariavonbrinckenlandscapedesign #gardenplanning Witchhazel “Arnold’s Promise” forgotten it’s a winter bloomer—anytime between February to April. A few weeks ago it was ablaze with yellow autumn leaves. Now it’s ablaze with brilliant yellow flowers! The way the early November light plays with it, it’s almost like an abstract painting. the deep red of the dogwood trees leaves with the flowering Witchhazel and the late blooming’Clara Curtis’ daisies create the palette with deep green rhododendron leaves. #autumngarden #landscaping #landscapedesigning #gardendesigner #mariavonbrinckenlandscapedesign #nativeshrubs #trees
