Shelby Landscaping and Garden Center

I stopped by the Cox Arboretum in Dayton this past Wednesday August 16th. Many were drawn to the butterfly house. I went on by (Looked like a full house) and wandered through the collections of conifers, oaks, crabapples and other interesting trees.

A customer just sent some nice pictures of an outdoor kitchen project we did last year.

A short Florida vacation last weekend gave me a preview of spring. The flowering trees were mostly species not found in Ohio, but there were a few familiar blooms here and there.  This first image (click them for full size) has great contrast in texture and color.  The effect was pretty exotic.  Just what a guy from Ohio needs in February!
