Denver, CO

In 2022 we were commissioned to create a shady sanctuary that served the pollinators. . .

Our second garden project at this beautiful renovated 1910 duplex was redesigning the front garden. Our client and her family are stylish and fun, and we wanted the garden to reflect their personality. We were excited for round two, as we couldn't get enough of this house or its family!

We have a special fondness for shade plants when we design, as their jewel-tone colors, striking leaf shapes, and textures add so much to a landscape. We had a great time working with Heucheras, Anemones, and Jacob's Ladder. We were mindful of the space's changing sunlight and made plant selections based on their resilience, vibrancy, and ability to attract birds, bees, and butterflies.

Near the front entry, we dedicated an area "Bees and Teas" and filled it with Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Sage, and Lavenders. We love adding fragrant plants near doorways, especially for people who enjoy relaxing on their front porch with a morning coffee or evening cocktail. In the sunny bed, we created a pollinator super highway using Solidago, Rudbeckia, Salvias, and Echinacea.

The family loves their garden and uses it constantly - this is the highest compliment Larkspur can receive. We are grateful for this opportunity to bring beauty to their space.

Thank you M, J, and T - we adore you!
