It was an honor to collaborate with Manolis of Saskatoon's beloved Manos restaurant on their stunning patio garden. Their newly renovated space features deep, insulated raised beds—a clever solution for overwintering perennials in our climate. We planted hardy Catmint, Sedum, and Sempervivum alongside lush annuals like Mangaves and Swedish Ivy, while grape vines will soon climb the trellis, creating a vibrant oasis for diners to enjoy. A perfect blend of beauty and practicality for this iconic Saskatoon eatery!

This project holds deep meaning for us—when longtime clients asked us to landscape a section of their community cemetery, we approached it with heartfelt care. We selected mature B&B trees from Lakeshore Tree Farm (including Spring Snow Crabapples and Ming Cherries for their breathtaking blooms) and paired them with low-maintenance evergreens, ornamental grasses, and my beloved Catmint for summer-long color. Every plant—from the bird-friendly Baby Blue Spruce to the continuous-blooming Hazel Dean Roses—came from Nancy Martin at Dieter Martin Greenhouse, whose quality and wisdom I’ve trusted for years. This serene space will honor families for generations, and we can’t wait to see it bloom this spring.
