A Dream Project
I was recently invited to create some new container gardens for Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. What a thrill and an honor!
The Calderwood Courtyard is beautiful and the new planters are perfect for the spot.
I was asked to work with a simple green and white palette since there are so many weddings that take place there. There are mature birch trees in the courtyard so we mimicked them with birch poles at the center of our plantings. This also provided needed height.
The courtyard is a bit shady so we used white hydrangea, asparagus fern, lamium, and white muscari. With a nod to future wedding receptions, we incorporated daffodil ‘Bridal Crown’ – one of my favorites. It smells absolutely delicious. We even managed to squeeze in some white columbine.
The weather on that late April day was gorgeous and with a great crew to help it was an amazing project.
