We Are:
Passionate gardeners with years of experience under our tool belts. Our extensive background in landscape maintenance informs our design choices now. Years of growing varied plants allows us to know which plants will thrive in each unique situation.
We see space and imagine the passing of time. With busy family lives we are constantly striving to achieve more in less time. Our method is designed to reduce effort and money over time Life is precious; more time spent in the garden just ‘being there’.
Process:
The first meeting is us learning about you and your site.
We take our knowledge of how plants work together in community and form a plant success team. We know which plants will thrive in whatever challenging circumstance comes their way. We also know what friends that plant would like to have to keep a garden interesting all year round.
We used a layered planting approach as a solution to space management. Let the plants do all the work of suppressing weeds as well as providing beauty and habitat.
inspired:
“A garden isn’t a landscape painting that you look at but a dynamic process that’s always changing.”
-Piet Ooudolf
“The aesthetic of the New Perennial garden is rooted in plant selection with an eye to both ecology and design. The visual emphasis is on structure and form rather than colour, because structure can persist over the entire growing season, while flower colour
comes and goes.”-Tony Spencer
“We are not here to heal the Earth but to heal our relationship with Mother Earth.
-Camilla Blossom
