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
It's exciting to finally be in the new house! Our builder, J Martin Builders pushed the subcontractors to get a lot done, so we could move out of the rental. 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
One of the many things we love about NW Montana is its wild places, national parks, national forests, wild and scenic rivers and crystal-clear lakes. It's a privilege to own a small piece of this paradise and we loved being able to work in the garden this past weekend. We've been dreaming of Montana for… Continue reading Native Garden – 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
Jim and I have transformed several garden spaces before, including a 1/4 acre at our prior home in South Florida. As you can see from the picture below, all the plants except several palm trees in our back garden were unhealthy and overgrown. In our first phase, we replaced the overgrown, unhealthy plants with new… Continue reading Coastal Gardens
My hubby, Jim and I have successfully created both small and large gardens. In today's post, I share what we have learned from our gardens, as well as helpful resources like gardening books and our local garden extension office. Understanding your site and selecting the right plants will help you create a beautiful garden, whether… Continue reading The Easy Garden
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
Jim and I have transformed garden spaces before, including a much larger garden than the Coastal Modern home. We wanted to wait until the inside of the home was complete before we dug into the garden, plus winter is definitely the time to be outside in South Florida. As you can see from the picture… Continue reading Coastal Modern Garden
