About Custom Gardens

April in Amarillo is a wager with the thermometer: one week the beds at the Amarillo Botanical Gardens are coming into bloom, the next a late frost slides down from the north overnight and silvers every tender leaf in town. Gardeners on the plains learn patience and placement, giving young plants shelter from a cold snap and a hot wind that can arrive in the same month. Custom Gardens shapes gardens around that reality, with garden design, planting and bed care fitted to each yard rather than copied from a catalog. The goal is color that comes in its own time. When May settles in at last and irises stand up along a fence line, the whole patient season pays off.
