The Barns of Rose Hill

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Jen Creany

In September of 2011, we donated design time and labor to install plant beds at the brand new Barns of Rose Hill (a community arts and event center) in Berryville, VA.  This beautiful building used to be a deteriorating old dairy barn in the middle of town.  We were so happy to be a part of this incredible community effort!  Learn more about ‘The Barns’ at www.barnsofrosehill.org

What is on your wish list?

Posted on December 4, 2010 by Jen Creany

CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA! Now and through the winter is a great time to plant deciduous trees – as long as the ground is not covered in snow! We have a variety of local growers that we hand select our trees from. You can be assured that we are installing a healthy, fresh dug tree specially chosen for your unique site. What is on your wish list? Dogwood, Maple, Cherry, Elm, Redbud, etc….

Bradford Pear = Bad idea

Posted on June 15, 2010 by Earthworks

This is typical of all Bradford Pears. A severe thunderstorm or a heavy snowfall will cause a major branch to break off or cause the tree to fall over. The Bradford Pear is a fast grower, which means it has weak wood. The tree is also heavily branched and has a full canopy. When a windy storm or heavy snow hits the branches, the tree or its branches will snap off. If you insist on planting one of these, consider thinning the branching or planting it away from buildings or cars.
