Winter Garden
Sunday morning's snowfall makes the anticipation of spring so much more sweet. The serviceberry tree, the 'Little Lamb' hydrangea with its dried flowers nodding under the snow and the emerging daffodils make me appreciate the garden under the early spring snow. It was a good day to study a garden book or catalog, dream, journal and plan.

Love the picture of the fox. Is that Lake Michigan in the background?

Hello, Ellie.
No, it's not Lake Michigan. It's in our garden near Cap Sauer's Holding Forest Preserve in SW Cook County. A pair of foxes do a wonderful job of rodent control in the garden.

I love the photo! That is a wonderful centerpiece tree there.
I purchased a property in a nice, peaceful suburb at the outskirts of Sydney and will be moving there soon. The property has a small yard that overlooks the city skyline. I’m planning to put up a nice garden here and have scoured the Internet for Sydney garden landscaping ideas.
Inspired by your picture, I plan to put up a tree as a centerpiece. Can you suggest a nice one with lots of flowers? Is it a good idea for me to hire Sydney landscape architects to do the job considering I am a first-timer in gardening?

Greetings. Before you hire a landscape architect, perhaps you could check with the local garden centers, since they may be most familiar with the types of trees that do best in your climate. It's always good if you can bring them a few photos of the site in which you intend to plant. Good luck!
