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.

Traditional patio with brick and Pennsylvania Bluestone for a Brooklyn, New York back yard. No garden/landscape designer was mentioned. The addition on the house was designed by Brooklyn architect Ben Herzog. Perhaps he designed the garden too?
