Magic Hour Gardening believes in thoughtful, contextual design that honors the history of the land and a creative open-hearted approach to landscape collaboration. There is a growing interest in the health of the planet, restoring native species that thrive in the Hudson Valley, a longing for local community and for the rhythms of nature. We want you to feel something that is real and that starts with being present where your feet are.
We commence with a site visit, wandering the expanse of your property together. As we explore, we will delve into the nuances of the current landscape, share ideas, and cultivate visions for your ideal outdoor space. Following our exploration, we will craft a comprehensive plan that outlines the thoughtful placement of plants and flowers, the outdoor layout, color palettes, and seasonally attuned garden maintenance.
Our garden designs often celebrate native species and the beloved pollinators that sustain them, arranged in an informal, meadow-like tapestry. Serpentine, unrefined paths meander through vibrant stands of botanical selections like Echinacea interspersed with Wild Bergamot, fragrant Anise Hyssop, and the beloved Milkweed. This diverse assembly of feathery foliage and native grass plumes weaves together a rich matrix of colorful verdure, wildflowers, and creeping ground covers. Such dense, diverse plantings are captivating but also minimize the opportunity for weeds to take root, stabilize the soil, conserve vital resources, and reduce maintenance efforts once established. Our main goal is to nurture the existing natural resources and create a thriving habitat for local flora, vegetation and wildlife.
