Landscape Before & After-- our Landscape Team help

Landscape Before & After-- our Landscape Team helped this homeowner to incorporate more bee and butterfly-friendly plants into the garden, including butterfly weed, common milkweed, lavender, catmint, and bee balm. Landscape boulders add dimension and a natural, informal look to the garden. Planting groups of plants around rocks create instant focal points.

"Happiness? The color of it must be spring green,

"Happiness? The color of it must be spring green, impossible to describe until I see a just-hatched lizard sunning on a stone. That color, the glowing green lizard skin, repeats in every new leaf. The regenerative power of nature explodes in every weed, stalk, branch. Working in the mild sun, I feel the green fuse of my body, too. Surges of energy, kaleidoscopic sunlight through the leaves, the soft breeze that makes me want to say the word "zephyr"--this mindless simplicity can be called happiness." ~ from "Bella Tuscany: The Sweet Life in Italy", by Frances Mayes.

Two eye-catching and uniquely striped Cannas that we're growing from bare roots this year are 'Pretoria' and 'Phasion' 🤩 These babies take their time to sprout and need a warm greenhouse to encourage growth.

Cannas give a tropical look to the garden and need full, hot sun. These two varieties will each grow to about 4-6' and work great in a bog garden, as a landscape bed accent planted in mass, or as a "thriller" in large container gardens.
