Cage Garden is a licensed small backyard nursery and garden design business that started in Queens, NY.

We have recently relocated to Pittsburgh where We are excited to relaunch in Spring 2020.

This year, I think I am ready to share about my only garden project. My own yard. It has seen many delays, but some successes. It evolves slowly when I can. So be forgiving of this work in progress! But we need to see green things this gloomy time of year 😁

Pittsburgh growers and designers, have you heard about our book celebrating your hard work? Cage Garden IG will now be Bloomsylvania, and feature content related to this beautiful project! This month is a time of transition for me. Due to health issues, I will no longer be doing the landscape work and garden design I love. But good news! photographer David S. Rubin and I are still looking for bouquets to photograph. We will also be sharing content related to our own garden. I am a big believer in Shirin Yoku, and will always be keeping a hand in the flowers. This arrangement is by me 😀.

This weekend’s bouquet. The rudbeckia are booming all over town. I always think of it as Pittsburgh’s official flower. A native plant in black & gold. It is not everyday your native flowers match your team.

Looking in on a planting I did in May. I took a risk with an unconventional color scheme. Last year was a candy carnival. This year is more dark and elegant. Tangerine zinnias are beginning to bloom and will complete the design for late summer.

A special bouquet for some special friends from California.

Flowers not fireworks! I was cutting these when less than a block away my neighbor was setting off some illegal ones. The grass was dry and crunchy under my feet. I have seen property go up in flames as a teenager when kids were setting some off on a dry summer night. And My deer and fawns, birds and bunnies are surely terrorized. Humans, play some rock n roll, eat good food, admire some bangin flowers.

The gang’s all here. Three of our cats came bolting in from the cat cage. Chief looked out to see why… our Darling deer was debuting her two fawns.

I missed it, I was driving back from Kentucky 😔 I see the little one is inspecting the empty nursery table. I stashed the delicious Annabelle hydrangeas in the shade while I was gone.

Surely they will return to the buffet. Kids eat free on Tuesdays. Bunnies too.

I have been enjoying watching these client roses “3rd year leap”. They have not let us down. I spent yesterday evening cleaning up the fading blossoms. I will spend this one rooting for that elusive thunderstorm!!!

Roses are Oso Easy Mango Salsa and Coral Knockout. I am wondering how long the little blue pansies will keep on truckin’ in this heat??

This week is the final stretch of annual planting. So much fun I wish I could savor it, but the end of May/early June is always hyper speed. Maybe this year I will get around to sharing more of the results here. I am pretty excited to see these gardens fill out! Building a landscape is such a slow game, sometimes it takes a few years for shrubs and perennials to really shine. But annuals are like fireworks, an explosion of color only to fade away when frost comes in the fall.

Rose campion (Lychnis coronaria) is in it’s glory this week. The combination of hot magenta and cool fuzzy silver always turns heads. It is a short lived perennial, but easy enough to establish in a border and keep it rolling by taking little offsets each year. Best of all, it needs very little water, and in mild winters, the silver rosettes of leaves add interest to a bleak bed.

Starting to get multiple visits a day from this girl. She is very citified, using stepping stone paths and preferring the birdseed to my plants.

I actually had to take the feeder away from her this afternoon as she went in for a nibble. I explained birdseed is not good for her multi-chamber deer belly. But to no avail.

It is getting time to name her and keep using deterrent spray on my cut flowerbeds.

I won’t be selling bouquets this weekend. I harvested a bunch of ranunculus this week, but after storing them without a cooler, I felt a bit unsure about the vase life on many. A few dropped their petals and I had to admit I am still too inexperienced, since this was my first crop! So I took these bitter lemons and made lemonade—or end of spring goulash really! So here we have it, another arrangement for my Pittsburgh local flower book. All the spring leftovers and I am cheered up.
