Landscapes with native plants
Create new or renovate existing landscapes with wonderful combinations of native plants, which provide multi-seasonal interest.
Benefits of native plantings:
- Low maintenance after establishment
- Less water needed
- Natural heritage preservation
- Food and shelter for wild life
- Attract birds and butterflies
- Form self-sustaining plant communities
Edible landscapes and vegetable gardens
If you are tired of flavorless, genetically modified, pesticide-packed vegetables and fruits then you should consider starting your vegetable garden. Edible landscapes can be just as attractive as ornamental areas, yet produce food for homeowners. It can be designed as an entirely edible bed or integrated into some elements of the existing landscape.
Benefits:
- Harvest fresh, flavorful and more nutritious fruits and vegetables
- Avoid use of poisonous pesticides/herbicides
- Grow unusual fruits and vegetables which are hard to find in stores
- Reduce grocery bills
- Educational for children
Seasonal Display
Custom-tailored seasonal displays to beautify and enhance your special occasions and events:
- Spring bulbs
- Summer annuals including self-sowers
- Fall chrysanthemums, asters, kale, grasses or berries
- Winter greens in window boxes and containers
Shade gardens
A common mistake in planning a shade garden is not considering site specific conditions, such as drainage, soil qualities, and root competition. However, with the right approach, an unsightly shady spot in a garden can be skillfully transformed into a refuge or even a secret garden. Plants with interesting texture, shape and colorful foliage can be arranged into an eye pleasing composition.
Container gardens
Containers are a great way to accentuate the entryway and steps, to add interest and color to a patio, to line up a walk way, or to spice up a perennial bed with an unusual plant requiring different growing conditions.
Why containers?
- Keep gardening on a property with poor or contaminated soil
- Take up minimum space
- Easy access for elderly and disabled
- Mobility - they can easily be moved to a different location
- Allow plants with different soil requirements to grow side by side
- Convenience - keeps herbs, vegetables and flowers at hand
- Plants can be easily changed to provide all year round interest
