Marvelous Variety
Most of our plants come from trusted horticulturalists. As a supplement, we propagate less popular varieties on our own at our small nursery. We prioritize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also recognize that diversified garden arrangements composed of some novel additions are often most conducive to extended beauty and longevity.Wildlife Minded

However, minor adjustments may be needed at certain points to maintain design details and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our internal team will be happy to provide assistance or guidance at these periods.What Sets Us Apart
Other local design firms may be able to provide gardens which look pretty, but we go beyond simple aesthetics. We pull from multiple decades of hands-on work and in-depth horticultural education to compose gardens which are well positioned to thrive in harmony, with little upkeep required as the seasons pass. Our team members orient plants with intention, giving close attention to how they will evolve and accent certain other design centerpieces on your property. We believe that communication is crucial, and we will work closely with you to honor your aspirations for your own individual garden.
