Campo de’ Fiori If you are looking for high-quality, classical, and hand-crafted garden accents, Campo de' Fiori ("field of flowers" in Italian) is unmatched. From their signature aged moss terracottas to hand-cast stone, hand-wrought iron, and mouth-blown glass, every piece brings immediate patina and quiet authority to a garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/b6af0cfb-38b3-49c6-8828-99b04eb0600e/Screenshot%2B2026-07-02%2Bat%2B3.31.02%25E2%2580%25AFPM.png Blog - Where Did Summer Go? - 2. Niwaki A true indulgence for the serious gardener. Niwaki crafts some of the finest Japanese pruners, tripod ladders, and garden tools on the market. I indulge in a new piece for my toolkit each season—their Hori-Hori (soil & weed) knife with a serrated edge is an absolute essential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/88b2ae5a-8699-4bab-b207-b2ff0f14809f/AGASTACHE-FOENICULUM-ANISE-HYSSOP-WITH-A-MONARCH-BUTTERFLY_548x730.jpg Blog - Where Did Summer Go? - 3. Prairie Moon Nursery My go-to resource for native seed blends, plugs, and ecological restoration plantings. Whether designing a full community pollinator garden or adding native biodiversity to a residential border, their quality and commitment to native genetics are second to none. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/e041bb93-99cc-4baf-b2fe-870d04c58caa/Hudson-Valley-Seeds-scaled.jpg Blog - Where Did Summer Go? - 4.

Hughes Water Gardens While I always prioritize local nurseries, specialty water features require dedicated experts. Out of Oregon, Hughes Water Gardens delivers incredible aquatic plants and fountain supplies with meticulous care in packaging and shipping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/be5a1742-1099-497e-8acb-cb88384be352/d70459fc3f6a58bf524f8ccdda19b3ef.png Blog - Where Did Summer Go? - 7. David Austin Roses The gold standard for romantic, fragrant English roses. Their shrub and climbing varieties bring unmatched flower form, disease resistance, and multi-season performance to formal and informal borders alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/47234275-c0ed-4a91-9827-fd44f91a17f6/a1361edc-a935-4e02-8968-f50a616a968c.jpg Blog - Where Did Summer Go? - 8. Drip Depot Efficient hydration is the backbone of any healthy garden. Drip Depot is my primary source for precision drip irrigation components, fittings, and customized micro-watering setups that keep plantings thriving through summer droughts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/5d8425df-144e-4615-a47a-57a2615fba53/Maple.jpg Blog - Where Did Summer Go? - Make it stand out A large Japanese maple, before and after summer pruning. Prune Japanese maples in late summer to shape them without inducing excessive sap bleeding, or in late winter while dormant to perform major structural cuts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/047fd2bc-ff96-4dec-8444-8718bd46ead7/Rhododendron.jpg Blog - Where Did Summer Go? - Make it stand out Three large Rhododendron, with their canopies “lifted” in spring. Prune rhododendrons immediately after they finish blooming in late spring or early summer to avoid cutting off next year's flower buds. https://raincarver.com/blog/reflections-on-spring monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/642860aa-1e88-449e-8c01-4b8e7cd79b5e/wild+azaleas+along+Appalachian+Trail.jpeg Blog -

Return of the Light - 1. Hellebores Hellebores. Also called Lenten roses, these are the subtle stars of my garden. They are evergreen, but particularly stunning in February and March, when they offer mid-winter blooms. Helleborus foetidus is our native species in New York. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/1767122401582-VHUW4QUQO18ULHNPKLLX/unsplash-image-8H5uOIv-hxE.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - 2. Camellias Camellias. Considered a large shrub or small tree, camellias, native to East and Southeast Asia, are a garden standard, offering blooms from late fall all the way through early spring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/1767120552864-GXJWT89ABTLJ0224GEN3/unsplash-image-M24mEZlVVLM.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - 3. Witch Hazel Witch Hazel. This medicinal powerhouse is also a winter wonder. American Witch Hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, blooms October through December, while the Vernal Witch Hazel (also native to the U.S., from Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma), Hamamelis vernalis, blooms January through April. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/1767122411680-Y0LLNZ1FSFJYM22QHR91/unsplash-image-1fMnr9oXUYY.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - 4. Snowdrops Snowdrops. A late winter/early spring flowering bulb, it’s often the first flower we see poking out of the ground, usually right through the snow, and our first indicator that the spring bloom cycle has begun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/1767122431647-YPNAKTZKEV6ZWWRF7EJ5/unsplash-image-vjdu7KWzKM0.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - Hollies Hollies. It’s hard to imagine this time of year and not think of hollies. The classic holiday variety we often see is an English Holly, Ilex aquifolium, but there are so many in this family that give blooms and berries throughout the year. Suggestion, experiment with different varieties for a longer berry season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/1767122437723-I6HF9DSBMJTRMA5ZEAU9/unsplash-image-3O9_376Y57o.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - 6. Pussy Willow Pussy Willow. With late winter to early spring blooms, Salix (willows and sallows) provide fuzzy puffs of color in silver/gray, yellow/gold, and even ornamental varieties of pink, jade, and purple. American Pussy Willow, Salix discolor, is a native to the Northeastern U.S. and provides major ecological benefits to pollinators, soil, and water filtration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/1767122423029-WQ53GMWH7TCVP4O1L0W3/unsplash-image-P8r2Toc2E8c.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - 7. Poinsettias Poinsettias. Moving the garden indoors, it’s hard to imagine a more emblematic holiday plant than poinsettias, which come in an array of colors. But, remember this plant’s white sap is toxic to pets and can cause drooling, vomiting, and skin irritation. Like all indoor plants, always double check toxicity if you have pets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/1767121663724-XKTZ1B97SYQSKJEO67DA/unsplash-image-ljOpnEAlj48.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - 8. Amaryllis Amaryllis. There are so many design possibilities with amaryllis in winter. The bulbs are very easy to trigger in a container with water and can make beautiful centerpieces or mantle displays. Note: these are also toxic to pets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/1767122446362-CK1CQNLC9XPJC1CNZJOX/unsplash-image-FUdnRnl98jI.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - 9. Cyclamen Cyclamen. Cyclamen grow from a tuber rather than a bulb, but offer similar design possibilities as Amaryllis. The key difference is this is a native to the Mediterranean, so give it gritty, well-draining soil, bright indirect light, and a cool spot. Note: cyclamen are also toxic to pets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/1767122456112-RT6GC0Y3G4RMSFJN0Q3K/unsplash-image-BT0m_0BwUkg.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - 10. Christmas Cactus Christmas Cactus. I can’t help it, I LOVE these! Ever since I was a child, my neighbor and piano teacher, Mrs. Jenkins had a gorgeous, old giant of a Christmas cactus, and it was such an event when it bloomed. Best, part, it’s nearly indestructible. Schlumbergera is native to the coastal mountains and tropical rainforests of Brazil, so it likes it wet. Best of all, it’s non-toxic to pets! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63b4740f2aab642f2a991fe3/d522c127-f670-4bd4-84cc-3a0206fb0ec1/gfxg95f9ius41.jpg Blog - Return of the Light - What’s the difference?
