“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.”
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne (American novelist; 1804-1864)

. . . in October what a feast to the eye our woods and groves present! The whole body of the air seems enriched by their calm, slow radiance. They are giving back the light they have been absorbing from the sun all summer.
~John Burroughs (American naturalist and conservationist; 1837–1921)

“A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all, it teaches entire trust.”
~ Gertrude Jekyll (British horticulturist, designer/creator of over 400 gardens in the UK, Europe and the USA, photographer, artist, and author; 1843 – 1932)

If you have been following Hanselman Landscape for any length of time, you probably know that our priority when designing gardens is the viewing perspective of those who live inside the home. So you will not likely see us plant around the foundation of the house because these plants will only be seen from those outside the home. Rather, we create garden rooms that can be experienced and enjoyed from inside AND outside the home. Below are examples of some inside-out garden views at a Lancaster County church; the garden views are a delight for those who are inside as well as for those who pass by.
