I’m always looking at the ground, and I’m constantly amazed at what I see there. When I see a driveway like this, I’m reminding that if you can imagine it and articulate your vision clearly, someone can build it for you. This is exactly the kind of thing that makes me want to grab a pencil and a pad of paper and start doodling.
If you’re looking for specimen trees, Susanna Farm Nursery is a great destination. It feels more like an arboretum than a trade nursery, and you can easily spend an hour or two strolling through the grounds. I was looking for some good-sized maples to use as accents in a client’s back garden, but I also came across some wonderful willow standards for another project. Well worth the trip for the beauty and inspiration and just a relaxing afternoon out.
