Raspberry patch (Photo by Herb Schaal) Not just any Landscape Architect, this is the garden of Herb and Cindy Schaal--and Herb is one of the most honored and respected men in the profession. He also happens to be the fellow to whom I owe much of my "break" into Horticulture: he was the Principal of the local office of EDAW which oversaw the development of DBG's masterplan in the early decades--and Herb designed and built the Rock Alpine Garden. He decided I was the one to take care of it, and persuaded the Management to hire me (despite my meagre resume at the time). Things worked out well enough that we've maintained a warm mutual regard (in my case bordering on idolatry) which is whipped into white hot enthusiasm every time I visit Herb and Cindy's enchanting garden. The garden this spring (Photo by Herb Schaal) Last Friday, Herb and Cindy had Jan and me over once again for an enchanting dinner: I snapped no end of pictures and asked casually if I might not "do" their garden for my blog. Herb (in his inimitable way) responded "sure" but I could see the cogs turning: I'm sure he had confidence in my photography--but JUST IN CASE--Herb emailed me ten stunning images (averaging 5 mgs each!)...and I lead this blog with his gorgeous pix. You will then be subjected to untold dozens of mine--the garden was so stunning even I could photograph it pretty well! Many of these opening shots are of the veggie gardens (Photo by Herb Schaal) Ironically, much of the garden is "hands off" for Herb: Cindy is the vegetable gardener who allows him to weed and occasionally to pick a tomato or two! Cindy is originally from Indiana, and she obviously has Midwestern vegetable genes--this is one of the largest, most productive and beautiful vegetable gardens in Colorado--that I am sure of! Massive cottonwood trunk (Photo by Herb Schaal) Last time I visited they still had the massive Cottonwood on the West side of their house--looming over it like a Leviathan. They had it cut down recently--but left the base which must be 8' across! In vintage Schaal style, it's become a platform for fun, functionality and beauty. Spring glimpses (Photo by Herb Schaal) I'm so pleased to have Herb's pictures to properly "round out" the view of the garden at its floriferous peak in spring, but as you will see, there's still lots blooming in August! The aspen glade is wonderful all times of year, of course, including winter. (Photo by Herb Schaal) There is something incredibly festive about orange and blue. I love this combination...come to think of it, I better replicate it! (Photo by Herb Schaal) We will see the dancing scarecrows again--they're pretty irresistible... (Photo by Herb Schaal) This isn't Oenothera caespitosa...I'm not sure it isn't one of our annual species that sowed in from the surrounding fields. You don't see these nearly enough in gardens. (Photo by Herb Schaal) What an enchanting Potager--and the dancers express the way one feels there! (Photo by Herb Schaal) (Photo by me) The last pictures are taken by me: not as dazzling as Herb's of course, but not bad for a few minutes of snapping before we sat down to a delicious repast. This was the view from my chair, by the way. McDonald's happy meal would have tasted scrumptious in that atmosphere! (Photo by me) A wonderful patch of buffalo grass by the garage--not a weed in it. In fact, no weeds anywhere! They're fanatics...and this is a very large garden. (Photo by me) Needless to say, I was enchanted to see a trough with some alpines--I did mention he did the DBG Rock Alpine Garden? (Photo by me) A closeup of Scrophularia macrantha: Herb was surprised to hear I introduced this to horticulture. (Photo by me) A shot from further away...this is one monster plant I tell you! (Photo by me) The garden cottage: This was also in Herb's first picture. I stupidly forgot to take pictures of their wonderful hen house and chicken yard beyond the cottage (you can barely catch a glimpse)--made you almost jealous of the birds it was so quaint and pleasant! (Photo by me) My shot in the gloaming of the best raspberry patch in Colorado (they used plywood beneath the path to keep the Rubus at bay--clever gardeners!) (Photo by me) Acrobatic tomatoes--very entertaining... Cindy's pots (Photo by me) Cindy does the containers--and they are everywhere, and everywhere they're lovely. (Photo by me) The Johnny jump ups still blooming lustily--you can tell it's been a cool, moist summer. (Photo by me) A glimpse of where we dined later--in a delightful room looking onto the garden. (Photo by me) The place is crawling with wildlife--so many of the veggies are caged. (Photo by me) They harvest large numbers of strawberries out of these rows. (Photo by me) Gorgeous rhubarb! (Photo by me) More veggies! (Photo by me) And a gorgeous statuesque stone... (Photo by me) Here's where we had hors-d'oeuvres...are you jealous? (Photo by me) More flowers! (Photo by me) Wonderful borders with groundcovers... (Photo by me) From further back... (Photo by me) Part of one border. We were a few days too early for their main planting of Oriental lilies--with dozens of flowers on stalks eight feet tall--woooo hoooo! (Photo by me) Herb's fond of heliopsis, as I am. They had several cultivars. (Photo by me) Managed to get one glancing shot of the man himself: looks pretty much the way he did when we first met almost forty years ago. This friendship goes way back! (Photo by me) those dancing scarecrows in the late light are just as fun... (Photo by me) Cindy couldn't resist pulling the last weed! (Photo by me) A wonderful double Heliopsis. I need this one! They bloom forever and make great cuts! (Photo by me) There are no end of charming gates, and great places to hang out and sit. You can tell a landscape architect designed this garden! But it's been planted and nurtured by two great gardeners--a triage combo you shall not find very often! (Photo by me) Is this charming or what? (Photo by me) I was bowled over by this splendid tower of Sweet Peas--not something you see around hot Denver very often--they're near the mouth of a canyon, and there must be cool air drainage that keeps them so fresh. That's it for pix: I have more, but they aren't as worthy. And besides, if you haven't been convinced that Herb and Cindy live in Paradise, nothing will do it. I have been blessed with several great gurus who have nudged me along my path. Herb is has been one of the greatest and most steadfast! Live long and prosper, both of you! We are so grateful to have you both in our life.

I needed a fence because my dogs have a habit of running without looking where they are heading. So, I didn't really need it to be strong, rather to have a visual impact to the dogs, so they stay out. I am also an organic gardener, so I wanted something that looked natural. The only cost to this fence is for cotton string to bind the intersections. This is how I did it. I use 4 main pieces, about 2 1/2 feet long as the legs to go into the ground. Next, I use two smaller pieces of study twigs between each of the 4 longer ones. Then I took long sticks (these are the sucker branches that we trimmed off our apple trees this winter) and threaded them over and under these sticks. I would start and stop wherever there seemed to need bracing. I only would do about 4-5 sticks in each intersection. Then I tied each intersection. Here is the first row done. I would loop around each side an then knot it at the bigger sticks, as they are the main supports, but just criss-cross tied the intersections of the smaller sticks. Here is an example of the knots. I added two more rows of sticks, making sure each intersection is tied. I tried to keep them straight as possible, but wasn't too upset if it varied, as I liked the look of a "natural fence" Here is the finished fence, I used a hammer and pounded the longer sticks into the ground to make it secure. I hope this gives you ideas on how to use natural materials to help around the garden.
