Lilac Standard

I have had this meyeri lilac topiary standard for sixteen years!
It has moved with me from Cleveland, Ohio to Leesburg, Virginia and now Upperville.

I look forward to the beautiful, fragrant flowers every spring.

I planted four more in the future knot garden in front of our design studio.

Welcome to Matthews House and Garden blog.
We're excited to share all of the beautiful things we love with you.

    This is a truly amazing set up you have to your garden. I love the contrast of the modern look that you get with the Edmonton concrete juxtaposed against the country look of the flowers. It's an interesting combination that makes it easy to appreciate the scene as a whole. Well done!

    I just found your blog when I googled 'lilac standards' ~ I'm so glad I did ~ your garden is GORGEOUS! Plus your lilac standards (especially the oldest one) are very inspiring. I'm so glad I purchased mine now tho I'm wishing I'd bought more than one! I'm sure I follow your beautiful boards on Pinterest but glad to know you have a blog too. I'm bookmarking it right now!
