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?

London garden at the home of British home furnishings retailer Cath Kidson. I wasn’t able to find who the designer was. Perhaps Ms. Kidson? I like the Alchemilla mollis growing in the terrace stones.
