Gardens, Layered by Season

Underused beds and front-yard focal points across multiple Jackson Hole homes — each one planted for bloom cycles, pollinators, and year-over-year depth.

Terrain · Summer 2025

Gardens planted not as one-shot color, but as ecosystems that return stronger every season.

Across several properties this summer, Lazar and the crew transformed empty planter beds and tired front-yard focal points into layered gardens built for Jackson Hole’s short growing season — selected annuals for immediate impact, perennials for structure, and plantings chosen to carry pollinators through bloom cycles from late May to first frost.

Site by Site Every install started with a site walk. Sun hours, soil, existing structure, what the client actually wanted to see from which window. No template.
The Palette Annuals for opening-week color. Perennials for the backbone. Pollinator plants — catmint, coneflower, yarrow — so the garden feeds something beyond the homeowner’s eye.
The Layering Tallest at the back, or at the center if the bed is viewed from all sides. Structure plants anchor the corners. Ground cover keeps the soil cool and weeds down.
The Handoff Each install comes with a plant list, a watering schedule tailored to the zone, and a seasonal check-in so the garden actually matures the way it was designed.
“A Jackson Hole garden has a short window to do everything. Plan for overlap — something opening as something else closes — and the bed reads alive from May through October.” — Vergiliu Lazar, General Manager, Terrain
