carex: garden design by carolyn mullet

I design & build gardens and this blog is about all things landscape and garden that can influence garden making. My bias is toward the clean, straight forward, and spare but I can be seduced as much as anyone by the sensuality of nature. However, what I post will be about more than the pretty, precious, and nostalgic. We'll see how well I do. And "Carex"? It's a sedge frequently used in planting native gardens. I like it very much.

Winter reveals the structural elements of a garden. This is blogger Martha Tate’s terrace covered with wrought iron arches. In the summer a red trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) provides shade and probably attracts lots of hummingbirds.
