“As long as you have a garden you have a future and as long as you have a future you are alive.”

That Pennsylvania’s state flower is the beautiful Mountain Laurel (kalmia latifolia)? The small, candy-colored blossoms sprinkled lavishly across a leafy, emerald green back-drop are a feast for the eyes, and–if you’re a bee–for the belly, too!

I suppose a Monet would be nice, but honestly, I’d much rather live in the presence of this vibrant, ever-changing artwork!

Our team recently had the privilege of working on a second project for Rich and Kris, of Palmyra, Pennsylvania.
Following the completion of the project, Kris penned the following note to James, Ben, and the Hanselman team:
“You have transformed our inner courtyard into a serene sanctuary. The design, detail, precision, and placement of boulders and plants and lighting, the craftsmanship is perfection. Beautiful from every angle, inside and outside. Day and evening, we delight with every glance out of our windows from various rooms. We appreciate the extra touches–rearranging our firewood, repairing our downspouts, and your card and prayers for Rich’s recovery. You and all your team are very special people and obviously put your heart and soul into every project. Thank you for bringing light and joy into your clients’ lives and gardens.”

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”
~ John Burroughs (American naturalist, essayist, and conservationist; 1837 – 1921)
