Consult

Consult

We offer garden consultations, answering your design questions, identifying plants in your gardens, addressing maintenance issues and other landscape questions. A consultation gift certificate from A Southern Gardener is a wonderful gift for Mother’s or Father’s Day, housewarming, or birthdays.

Design

Design

Our goal is to create a landscape according to your desires and dreams. We believe in creating a garden that will delight all of your senses, yet not overwhelm you with upkeep and maintenance.

Installation/Renovation

Installation/Renovation

That is the question. Some gardens need a complete transformation, some just need a little TLC. It all starts with soil preparation and continues with proper planting of trees, shrubs and perennials. The key is the right plant for the right spot.

Containers

Containers

We love to create containers with panache! Whether bulbs in spring, tumbling explosions of annuals in summer, or collections of greens for winter, our focus is to meet your desire for low maintenance, color and texture.

Maintenance

Maintenance

Your gardens, how they grow and appear, are important to us. We weed, plant and trim to realize all your garden wishes. There is not a weed we will not pull because we love your gardens as much as you.

We did what we said we would. 🌿 Yesterday on Mondays with Mil, Mil talked about the right way to remove boxwood from your garden beds. And this week, that is exactly what we are doing. Out with the dead boxwood and in with something we are genuinely excited about: Ilex glabra ‘Compacta,’ a beautiful compact inkberry that gives you that same tidy, structured look without the heartbreak of box tree moth. And yes, we are bagging those boxwood branches in plastic and sending them straight to the trash. Not the compost bin. Not the brush pile. The trash. If you missed Mil’s explanation of why that matters, go back and watch yesterday’s reel. We love the look of these Ilex. Clean, hardy, and built for southeast Michigan. This is exactly the kind of swap that makes a garden bed better for years to come. Has box tree moth hit your boxwood? We would love to help you think through what comes next. 📩 Link in bio to book a consultation with our Chief Gardening Officer Melissa. #MondaysWithMil #ASouthernGardener #GrossePointe #GardenDesign #boxwoodalternative
Mondays with Mil: If you have boxwoods, this one is for you. Box tree moth has arrived in Grosse Pointe, and it is moving fast. A single heavy infestation can devour a shrub in less than a week, and because there are no natural predators here in Michigan, populations can grow until they simply run out of food. The good news: you can protect your plants if you act now. Mil walks you through what to look for, what treatment options exist, and what to do if your boxwoods are already showing damage. This is exactly the kind of thing your neighbor might not know yet. Share this with them. Link in bio for more from Mil. #MSUExtension #mondayswithmil #asoutherngardener
