It's Friday, time for a beer! /May 2, 2014 by Faith Michaels

A long week for the crew! Working in the cold and rain. Planting in some pretty big trees. The wall is coming along. Next week we'll complete the upper portion, add a drip edge to keep water away from the house and plant beds.

Color, texture, and scale. Perspective and vision. Innovation and application. The essential elements of good design and successful design projects. Faith Michaels, founder and owner of Faithful Flowers, combines these elements in a career that spans twenty years to design extraordinary landscapes in a variety of environments. From institutional and urban installations that serve to bring humanity to a harsh city landscape, to private gardens in architecturally significant properties, to simple outdoor living and entertaining spaces created to expand and enrich everyday life.
