Natural perennials
Late afternoon at the Farm in Maine-beautiful native combo of grasses, Goldenrod and Joe Pyeweed.
I love the dynamic play between the evergreen backdrop and this golden meadow up front.
Milbank site visit
Today we made a site visit to Milbank. Susan did some leg lifts on the adult fitness structures.
The plantings are looking great-Oak leaf hydrangeas (Hydrangea quercifolia), Summersweet (Clethra alnifolia), and Sedge (Carex Pensylvanica).
July perennials
Feels like summer in this Long Island garden Echinacea purpurea with Amsonia hubrichtii.

We compared two samples of synthetic turf by laying them on top of natural grass at Fleck courtyard. We think the one in the foreground looks convincing.
Here is a detail of synthetic turf installed at Campos Plaza:
How does synthetic turf measure up against Fleck Courtyard’s natural grass?
Hellebores, Autumn Ferns and Solomon’s Seal
Woodland plantings in a Brooklyn garden.
Love the play of hues and textures of Hellebores and Autumn Ferns.
