This project was timed to be completed just prior to a dinner party scheduled for the weekend. A mid-week hurricane blew through but our crew caught the end of it on installation day.

THE SHE SHED team is dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction; no matter what the weather!

Location: Spring Garden Road, Halifax

Client Goals: Winter Terrace Garden

While holiday entertaining in December was top of mind for this client, he wanted an elegant and heart-warming winter themed terrace garden that would be beautiful until spring.

The summer tropical plants were removed, potting mix topped up and a lovely foundation of evergreens installed using six varieties for textured interest.

High gloss lanterns and sculptural orbs are highlights in larger planters with 9 inch sugar pine cones and smaller design elements as accents or placement in smaller planters.

With dusk falling earlier and shorter days, lighting was a key element for this project. Large lanterns with candles, smaller lanterns with tea lights and strand lighting were placed on synchronized timers so that the lights came on at the same time. The lighting illuminates the outdoor living space and creates a dreamy atmosphere.
