Boston Roof Garden

Since a picture is worth a thousand words we’ll let these photos do the talking.

Just know that this was a new client in Boston who wanted a lush, “wild” garden that incorporated blues, purples and reds with a healthy dose of edible plants.

We used hydrangea Cityline ‘Rio’, caryopteris, nepeta and verbena bonariensis to bring in the purple pow. We contrasted the purple with rosa ‘Popcorn’. Added structure with boxwood and ornamental grasses and a punch of red with various annuals.

For the edibles we used many different herbs, as well as cucumbers, tomatoes and beans which climbed up the obelisk that we used as a design element to mimic the Old North Church.

We often joke with the client who says she has so many vegetables she could start a CSA in her condo building!

Of course installation was on the hottest day in May but with a great crew, it all got done! 
Enjoy these photos of the transformation process:
