Today ’s photos and peak were sent in byRebecca Sweet , one of my favored people / garden designer . She visited garden designers Freeland and Sabrina Tanner at their garden and home in Napa , California , last hebdomad . It ’s a stunning garden ( I ’ve photograph it twice , and hyperventilated from the gorgeousness … ) , with so many inside information to take in that it can make your header spin . Rebecca zero in in on this little choice morsel .
She says,“While visiting Freeland and Sabrina Tanner ’s beautiful Napa garden , I could n’t help notice the simple yet elegant edging along their garden bottom . It turns out they made the butt against themselves using leftover cuttings from their purple - leaf plum Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree andSambucus‘Black Lace ’ shrub . Not only is this attractive right now , in its dormant stage , but it gets even sound throughout the year when the branches begin flowering in the bounce followed by tiny , burgundy foliage . They have to be careful , though , to replace the edging each year before the branch get rooting , turning into a potential incubus to hit . And a word to the wise – guess twice about which branches to habituate if you decide to make these for your own garden . One gardener they know used cuttings from a figure tree , which rooted at the speed of light and were nearly insufferable to remove!”Good advice , Rebecca …
