When the wind
Sweeps the broad forest in its summer prime,
As when some master-hand exulting sweeps
The keys of some great organ, ye give forth
The music of the woodland depths, a hymn
Of gladness and of thanks.”
~ William Cullen Bryant (Among the Trees)

One of the great delights of surrounding your home and life with a personal and private garden is tranquility. A thoughtful, well-crafted garden creates a buffer between you and the noise, hustle, and speed of the outside world.
We create gardens that offer a sanctuary–literally and figuratively–to which you can escape as your car pulls into your driveway and you set aside your workday pressures. We invite you to see the beauty of lush greenery from your windows as you step inside your home, to delight in the chorus of birdsongs and the sigh of wind dancing in the Japanese Maples just outside your doors, to be able to breathe deeply and refresh your spirit every single day of the year, regardless of the weather.
A garden has the potential to provide the tranquility your mind, soul, and body are craving. Let’s begin the conversation and discuss partnering to surround your home with a serene and beautiful space. We look forward to your call: 717-653-1273.

“That beautiful season the Summer!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
And the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.”

It’s beautiful, the Summer month of June
When all of God’s own wildflowers are in bloom;
And sun shines brightly most part of the day
And butterflies o’er lush green meadows play.
Light hearted skylark, songster of the wing,
High o’er the quiet and lonely moorland sing;
Above her nest cloaked by the tangled heath,
Her charming song so exquisitely sweet.
So mellow the gentle breath of June day breeze!
The birds rejoicing on the leafy trees,
And dappled trout in pool bed of the stream
Bask in the sun, their spotted skins agleam.
~ Francis Duggan (Contemporary Irish poet)
