A Walk Through Our Gardens

Every garden has its own vibe, and ours is full of color, texture, and little surprises that pop up as the seasons change. We’ve got a mix of trees, shrubs, flowers, and groundcovers that all bring something special to the space—so let’s take a stroll through the garden and meet some of the stars.


Spring: The Early Risers

Spring is when the garden really starts to wake up. Autumn Brilliance Serviceberries are some of the first to bloom, showing off their white flowers and light green leaves. Not long after, Spirea adds soft pink blossoms, and Dogwood gives us not one, but two rounds of white flowers—one in spring and again in fall.


Yarrow joins in with bright yellow flowers, and Dappled Willow puts on a soft pink and green show that looks like it’s been brushed on by hand.


Summer: Full Bloom and Color Everywhere

Summer is when things really take off. Raindrop Crabapples bring bold purple leaves and pinkish-purple flowers. Asiatic Lilies burst into bright orange, and Day Lilies add softer pinks and purples to the mix.


Russian Sage, Salvia, Sea Holly, and Butterflyweed keep the pollinators happy and buzzing. Coreopsis and Ladies Mantlebring soft greens and cheerful yellow and chartreuse tones that add even more color and texture.


Fall: The Cozy Finish

As the weather cools down, some plants hang on a little longer. Salvia and Russian Sage keep blooming into fall, and Dogwood offers another round of white flowers.

Smokebush starts to really shine this time of year with its smoky pink blooms and deep purple foliage. Bunch Grass sways in the breeze with soft beige plumes, adding movement and a touch of wild beauty.


The Steady Greens and Quiet Spots

Not everything in the garden is about flowers. Hinoki Cypress stays green year-round and brings a calm, steady vibe. Sweet Woodruff quietly brightens shady areas with delicate white flowers. And Clematis climbs and twines wherever it wants, blooming in soft shades of pink and purple.


A Garden for the Birds, Too

The flowers aren’t the only ones showing off—our bird feeders bring in plenty of feathered friends too. If you spend a little time watching, you’re likely to spot some of these locals:


  • Black-capped Chickadees – Bold and curious, they’re often the first to visit a feeder.

  • House Finches – Look for the males with their rosy red heads.

  • American Goldfinches – Bright yellow in summer and a little more subtle in winter, they love sunflower seeds.

  • Red-breasted Nuthatches – Tiny, fast, and often seen zipping up and down tree trunks.

  • Mourning Doves – Calm and quiet, they tend to perch below the feeders waiting for scattered seeds.

  • Northern Flickers – A type of woodpecker that loves suet and has a gorgeous spotted chest and a red flash at the back of its head.


Keep an eye out and your ears open—sometimes the birds are just as fun to watch as the flowers.


The Garden Story Continues

Every plant in our garden plays a part—some are bold and colorful, others are quiet and dependable. But together, they make our space feel alive and always changing. Whether it’s spring, summer, or fall, there’s always something blooming, growing, or just doing its thing.

And with the birds joining the party, there’s even more to enjoy. Nature always finds a way to put on a show.
