Herb Gardens

Planting an herb garden brings nature and culinary exploration right to your doorstep. Creating an herb garden begins with selecting a suitable location with ample sunlight. We often will try to choose spots adjacent to a patio or just outside the kitchen door. Next, we choose a variety of herbs that thrive in your climate and suit your culinary preferences, from classic staples like basil and rosemary to more exotic options like lemongrass and Thai basil. Though some herbs, like basil, need to planted each season as they won’t survive the winter cold, others such as mint and oregano return year after year. With patience and proper care, your herb garden will flourish, offering an abundant harvest of fresh herbs to enhance your cooking and add fragrance and beauty to your garden design.

Native Plants in Garden Design

We’re often asked to create gardens which reflect the surrounding landscape. One way we achieve this is to include native shrubs and perennials in our landscape designs. Planting native species in a garden offers a a number of benefits that extend far beyond simply aesthetic appeal. Native plants, adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, require minimal maintenance once established, reducing the need for water, fertilizers, and pesticides. By fostering biodiversity, native shrubs and perennials attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds, contributing to ecosystem health and resilience and their deep root systems help prevent soil erosion and improve soil structure, promoting long-term sustainability. Additionally, incorporating native plant species in a garden design enhances the garden's connection to the environment, creating a sense of place and a greater appreciation for local ecology.
