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
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
The Coastal Modern house feels different now that we're not the owners and we've packed most of our possessions. There are a few things we'll miss about our little beach house, including the beach, neighbors and garden. We'll miss our friends and family most of all, but we'll visit every now and again. 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.

The house is coming along nicely, and we are completely satisfied with our… Continue reading The Land- Majestic Meadows

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
Adondia palms flank a fountain with Brazilian Red Cloak in the center, Crotons, Benjamin Ficus and Foxtail ferns in front. When we're not exploring the mountains, we enjoy spending time in our garden. As you can see, it's a very different environment than our property in Montana. We've chosen to fill our tropical garden with… Continue reading A Garden Should Welcome a Soul
