Once the house was finished, we were able to get a few plants in the ground near the house before winter. Most of them are native pollinator perennials, which should take root and grow a little next summer. In addition, we added native bunchgrass and wildflower seeds around the house and a large area to… Continue reading Garden Spaces
As you can imagine, building a new home wreaks havoc on a landscape. We have a lot of restoration to do around our house, as well as a large area going from the house to our well and septic field. We've spent time assessing our site, which includes soil testing, notating shade and sun patterns,… Continue reading Garden Restoration
Living in a wildland urban interface means we need to prepare for wildfires potentially impacting our home and property. We're lucky because there is a lot more information about building and living in high fire risk areas today than in the past. Studies have found as many as 80% of homes lost to wildfires could… Continue reading Firewise Home & Garden

That means we've also got a few things left to be done or corrected, which is common in new builds. In today's post, I'll share… Continue reading Interior Design Update

We've been dreaming of Montana for… Continue reading Native Garden – Majestic Meadows

One thing… Continue reading Build Update – Majestic Meadows
My hubby, Jim and I have been dreaming about and "building" our house via SketchUp since we bought the property in 2018. It's been amazing to watch our vision get turned into a home. We both love Mid-Century Modern design, which inspired the house now overlooking the Swan Range. We've both learned a lot and… Continue reading Garden Design – Majestic Meadows
We're grateful for our current life by the beach, but our heart belongs to NW Montana. We would have moved sooner, but our jobs kept us in South Florida. Today's world offers remote employment opportunities making a move to Montana a reality. The house is coming along nicely, and we are completely satisfied with our… Continue reading The Land- Majestic Meadows
In today's post, I provide helpful resources for creating your own magical mountain garden and share our perennial garden plan which includes stunning mountain views. We'll keep most of the pines, but gently thin out some trees removing damaged and crowded ones. The additional landscaping will include ornamental and native plants (US Hardiness Zone 4b)… Continue reading Mountain Garden Ideas
