Hungry Gnome is proud to have two of our gardens be featured in the 2nd Oconee Garden Tour! Come this Saturday and check out two of the gardens we have been blessed to bring into abundance. One is a suburban lot with a fantastic mix of edibles, ornamentals, and stonework; the other is a prolific vegetable garden producing more food than you can shake a stick at.

This photo is of the back yard of some clients-turned friends. Hungry Gnome did the landscape design and the first phases of installation, with the home owners following with much work of their own. Every time I visit them, I am amazed at how much love they have poured into their landscape and how it manages to be beautiful and produce vast amounts of food. All those trellises will soon be dripping with blackberries, raspberries, and muscadines. They also have blueberries, figs, and other fruits, and the raised beds within the circle are a riot of flowers from spring through fall.

Nice big cages will keep the deer out, and good pruning while the tree is young will help this apple tree bear lots of fruit over it's long life!

We "harvested" these stair treads from an unsightly block of concrete in a clients yard for future use on their property. Joy was found in re-purposing materials, creating beauty and usefulness out of an eyesore.

Perfect time of year and great weather for pruning. A dramatic hair cut to this muscadine vine will help it produce copious fruit again next year and keep it looking good as it graces this fence and arbor.
