Creating My Pond Garden

1 week ago | themarthablog.com | Martha Stewart

Another beautiful garden is being planted at my Bedford, New York farm. For months I've been restoring an old pond on my property - removing surrounding unstable trees, dredging decades of pond silt, repairing the spillway, and reinforcing the walls with huge rocks and boulders already here at my farm. Next, the pond water was tested and aerating bubblers were installed. And then compost was laid down and the entire area was prepared for planting.

May 2, 2025 Planting a Boxwood Border A planting transformation project is now complete and looks absolutely terrific. Not long ago, I received 105 boxwood shrubs from Star Roses and Plants in West Grove, Pennsylvania - a company of brands that focuses on breeding and introducing stronger, more disease resistant specimens. I decided the boxwood would look best as a border along the carriage road to my Winter House, on one side of my Stewartia garden and across from my long pergola.

Potting Up Hundreds of Bare-Root Roses

4 weeks ago | themarthablog.com | Martha Stewart

My gardeners and outdoor grounds crew are rushing to get hundreds of bare-root cuttings into pots before the holiday weekend. Earlier this week, I received a huge delivery of bare-roots and young transplants from Star Roses and Plants, a company of brands that focuses on breeding and introducing specimens offering longer-lasting, disease resistant blooms. On the day they arrived, my team potted up more than 100 arborvitae and dogwood trees.

April 14, 2025 Planting Azaleas Developing any garden, big or small, takes time, planning, and lots of patience. Four years ago, I decided to create a giant azalea border along both sides of the carriage road between my Summer House and my stable. I wanted to plant lots of colorful azaleas - a variety of unique specimens in shades of pink, orange, crimson, and white. I already have many mature azaleas flourishing in this area, but I wanted to expand the collection.

April 11, 2025 Removing Burlap Covers And just like clockwork, this time every year my outdoor grounds crew begins the process of removing all the burlap around the farm exposing the lush green boxwood that has been covered all winter long. Every autumn for as long as I’ve been gardening I’ve covered my boxwood shrubs and outdoor ornamental urns to protect them from the season’s heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures, and damaging winds.
