Some BEFORE & AFTERS from our project at Hudson Valley, NY | Tannery Place in Rhinebeck. This project has a terrific design, ex*****on AND care team. It’s when all three work together that the real magic happens. Featured projects include: 1. The production garden went from turf and a formal rose garden to a lush ecologically rich landscape with medicinal herbs and cut flowers mixed in with the production greenhouse and vegetable garden all loving cared for by the incredible Leyla and Nicole Lopane (of course with the tiny Folcore as puppy overlord). Heavy lifting, structural changes, hardscape and general support by the miracle worker at Dominick Lopane and company. 2. The back hillside, the main view from the home’s patio was transformed from 90% spirea to a wildflower native meadow garden. In its very first season it’s still growing in with dozens of native flower species, 4+ native grasses, native shrubs and a few small flowering trees for structure and winter drama. We can’t wait to see this garden progress over the next few seasons adding bulbs and drifts for blooms and interest in all four seasons. 3. The stable and workshop got a new stone patio, working kiln, and flower beds to soften the architecture and create a strong sense of place and functionality. 4. Back stone patio got a full container make over with stone pots filled with long lasting and blooming shrubs and perennials, including flowering Hydrangeas, fruiting Aronias and cascading tiarella. Just a few of the highlights developing. This property is being transformed from a turf monoculture to a breathing, habitat rich landscape full of pollinators, song birds and beauty. We couldn’t be more proud of the property owners vision and dedication to stewarding this historic land 💜🌸🌱
