Custom Perennial Garden From an elegant low maintenance garden of shrubs and ornamental grasses to a lush island garden full of fragrance and bloom. With our many years of experience we can adapt any style or plant preference to whatever space or budget is at hand to create a garden that stands out from the rest. We’ll custom design your new perennial garden based on - your plant choices; a thorough investigation of the site; family needs; sun/soil conditions; and budget. With the 1,000's of plants available today, anything is possible! With a right-plant-in-the-right-place approach, your garden will flourish and grow more beautiful with age as each plant matures in good health, instead of needing replacement just a few years on. There is no such thing as a garden site without some type of challenge - dry sandy soil ... too wet with poor drainage ... too shady ... very windy ... etc. Working together with your unique site conditions, using our 25 years of experience with beyond-the-ordinary perennial plants and garden design, is the key to success. Once completed, we will be there to see that your new garden develops as it should with either regular visits from our expert team of gardeners, or through our gardening classes to teach you how to look after it yourself. Call soon to book your 2019 garden consultation and we'll explore your garden's possibilities! Evelyn Wolf,

“Shrub Pruning is no big deal. You just trim back branches each year, Right? Wrong! What often passes for pruning is nothing less than plant torture! The power tool “haircut” that's often seen, not only destroys the natural form and potential beauty of a shrub or tree, but saps their strength making them vulnerable to pest or disease attack. Plants become distorted with poor branch structure, and develop "naked legs" with twiggy tip growth that has little energy for blooming well. Our shrub and small tree pruning is done with a good set of simple hand tools ... knowledge of the potential beauty and individual growth patterns of each particular shrub ... a thorough understanding of general pruning responses and bud set habits of all woody plants, and how to manipulate these responses to achieve a particular design goal and long term health. Maturing trees and shrubs are the irreplaceable backbones of any garden. Only through good pruning will your shrubs ever maintain the gorgeous look of the picture you saw when originally choosing it for your garden. Protect and enhance your landscape investment with a professional pruning visit each year.
