observations of a landscape designer
Deborah Silver is a landscape and garden designer whose firm, Deborah Silver and Co Inc, opened its doors in 1986. She opened Detroit Garden Works, a retail store devoted to fine and unusual garden ornament and specialty plants, in 1996. In 2004, she opened the Branch studio, a subsidiary of the landscape company which designs and manufactures garden ornament in a variety of media. Though her formal education is in English literature and biology, she worked as a fine artist in watercolor and pastel from 1972-1983. A job in a nursery, to help support herself as an artist in the early 80′s evolved into a career in landscape and garden design. Her landscape design and installation projects combine a thorough knowledge of horticulture with an artist’s eye for design. Her three companies provide a wide range of products and services to the serious gardener. She has been writing this journal style blog since April of 2009.

Dear Dave, Thanks for this-I don’t know this book. Deborah
beautiful mosses!! love the rich greens.
Just lovely, I am enormously fond of mosses in the landscape– is there any other element which so immediately and succinctly tells of a patina of age to the space? There’s a lovely book on mosses (the title alone makes it worth having), ‘The Elfin World of Mosses and Liverworts of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Isle Royale’ by Janice Glime.
