  • We use plants to solve landscape problems like lack of privacy, too much maintenance, and even awkward layouts.
  • We strive to create our own unique, beautiful garden that will add value to our home, show off our personality and suit our lifestyle.
  • We believe that gardening should be a fun & relaxing creative outlet. If it’s not… why should we bother?
  • While what we do in own gardens is our choice, we are conscious that our decisions DO affect the people, wildlife and environment around us.
