🌞 OFFICIAL NOTICE: Summer Reported for Duty at 4:24 AM

Within minutes, it had:

☀️ Turned the thermostat up
🌿 Added 12 inches to plants that were “supposed to stay small”
🌸 Put every hydrangea into full performance mode
🦅 Made the birds even louder at 5AM
💧 Created a daily watering schedule nobody asked for

As landscape designers, we’d like to remind Summer that “low maintenance” is still part of the plan.

Happy Summer Solstice from Fox-Jackson Designs!

Here’s to beautiful gardens, buzzing pollinators, and clients who don’t point at a 20-foot tree and ask, “Will this stay that size forever?” 😆

✂️ Pruning Lilacs: Timing Is Everything! The time is NOW🌸

Love those fragrant lilac blooms? Here’s the biggest pruning mistake homeowners make:

🚫 Don’t prune lilacs in late summer, fall, or early spring.

Lilacs set next year’s flower buds shortly after they finish blooming. If you prune too late, you’ll be cutting off next year’s flowers before they ever have a chance to bloom.

✅ The best time to prune lilacs is immediately after they finish flowering.

While you’re at it:
• Remove spent flower clusters
• Cut out dead or damaged branches
• Thin a few older stems at the base to improve air circulation and rejuvenate the shrub

A little pruning at the right time means bigger, better blooms next spring.

🌸 Your future self will thank you when the lilacs put on a show next year!

🌎🌳 Happy Arbor Day from Fox-Jackson Designs 🌳🌎

Be kind to the Earth—plant a tree.

Trees do more than enhance a landscape. They support local ecology, provide habitat for wildlife, improve air quality, and help create healthier, more resilient outdoor spaces.

At Fox-Jackson Designs, we believe great design works with nature, not against it. Thoughtful planting today leads to a stronger, more sustainable landscape for years to come.
