The Circle of Life- Composting!
Well, isn’t this a sad site? The good folks of As You Like It Landscaping are swapping out summer and fall annuals for clients. Don’t worry, it will all come back in the form of compost!
Topiary Madness
Who left the gate open?! Fun at Green Animals, Portsmouth, RI.
Fall Planting is Best
This is the best time to get new plants in the ground. Imagine how wonderful your winter garden would look if you put in some winterberries!

Constructed elements and accessories are a great way to add height in the garden. Don’t forget to think in 3-D!
Green cover
Groundcovers aren’t the most exciting thing to talk about, but they do a valuable job of providing green cover and controlling erosion. Popular choices in the DC area include Euphorbia varieties (shown), pachysandra, ajuga, periwinkle, and Virginia Creeper.
EEEK!
Assassin bugs are actually beneficials! They don’t harm your plants and they eat other bugs that do- by repeatedly stabbing them and sucking out their juices. Nature- it’s so violent!
I love Boxwood!
