Happy March! This month exploring the healing benefits of gardens and landscapes. Even a small amount of time outside can do wonders for your mental wellness. For people of all ages, spending some time outdoors can improve cognition and reduce stress, depression, and anxiety. . .

Nurture your landscape and consider building a rain garden for your home! This bioswale is decorated with lovely grasses and stones and doesn’t disrupt other landscape and living zones! . . Landscape Architect @davidthornelandscape Photography @marionbrenner

Let your garden do some of the work for you. Rain gardens collect and filter storm water and runoff that would otherwise pollute our sewers and waterways. Yet, they can still look fabulous when used in conjunction with pebbles, grasses, and succulents! . . Landscape Architect @davidthornelandscape Architectural Designer @agdesignstudio...

Happy Friday! Grab a cool beverage and enjoy the weekend on your favorite garden bench. PS- isn’t that dry-stack wall beautiful? A dry-stacked wall is any stone wall constructed without the use of mortar to bind it together. These walls gain strength from the weight of interlocking stones stacked with a slight slope. Because these walls are constructed without mortar, they have the ability to bend and flex with the movement of the earth during warming periods and frost. .... .
