PRESS RELEASESAKRON, OH (August 2006) AMERICAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY FEATURES LOCAL DESIGNERS In this small space (roughly 22’ x 55’) a delightful garden experience is not only possible, but certain. Grassy paths meander between lush flower borders to a sitting area nestled among blooming shrubs. Privacy is provided by romantic/rustic trellising, covered in vines, which serve as a backdrop to the colorful perennials. Finally, a rose-laden pergola and bench are expertly placed along the back of the property to disguise a barn-style shed. The finished garden provides the Careaga family with a beautiful and intimate setting in which to relax or to entertain small gatherings of friends. An Akron-based landscape design and development group, Salsbury-Schweyer, Inc is nationally recognized for their gardens, water features and environmentally sensitive landscapes. Their work has been featured in books and magazines, including a recent issue of Fine Gardening. The company has numerous awards to their credit, including highest design honors from the Association of Professional Landscape Designers and the Perennial Plant Association. As with many of the Salsbury-Schweyer, Inc projects, the Careaga garden follows the English tradition, incorporating a broad palette of plants with natural materials such as stone and wood. Much of their inspiration is gathered from nature and from their extensive travels to many of the world’s finest gardens. Each garden created is unique and personal: designed closely with the client to create an artistic experience meaningful to them, full of life and continual change. Although their work is primarily with homeowners in northern Ohio, Salsbury-Schweyer, Inc also works outside Ohio, and with businesses or institutions who seek an alternative approach to their landscape.

The project she selected is an enclosed garden behind a North Canton residence. One feature of the garden is a stone circle, built especially for the imaginative play of the client’s grandchildren, but a work of art in its own right. Schweyer describes the project from its inception through the design process, and includes “before & after” photographs of the garden sanctuary created for the clients.

AKRON, OHIO (February 2006) Local fans of Fine Gardening magazine may see a familiar property when reading their latest issue…the Highland Square residence of Salsbury-Schweyer, Inc owners, Samuel Salsbury and Sabrena Schweyer. Salsbury-Schweyer, Inc is a nationally acclaimed landscape design and development group specializing in personal gardens, water-features and ecological/sustainable landscapes. Sabrena Schweyer (APLD) is a featured writer in the recently released, Jan/Feb issue of Fine Gardening magazine. The article, “Matching the Colors of Your House and Garden” is Schweyer’s first to be published nationally. Through illustrations, photographs and design tips, she explains to readers how they might select colors in their landscape to unify and enhance the overall look of their property. Over the past several years, editors from Fine Gardening have visited Ohio to see the award-winning gardens created by Salsbury-Schweyer, Inc. They encouraged Schweyer to write about her projects, and were especially enthusiastic for an article describing how she selected the colors of her own house and garden to create an integrated effect. The article, however, goes beyond the story of one house and garden. Schweyer shares with readers the artistic process, allowing them to adapt these ideas to their own properties. She offers several potential planting schemes for each of six popular house colors. A list of design tips detail some of the methods used by Schweyer in selecting color schemes for clients’ gardens. Palettes may be sophisticated, natural, or dramatic, depending upon personal style. Photographs of her Akron residence illustrate the article and provide excellent examples of a well-coordinated color palette. Salsbury-Schweyer, Inc and Fine Gardening are both excited about future collaborations.
