LOW MAINTENANCE

Choosing plants that appreciate the light, soil and moisture conditions in our yard ensure the right plant is in the right place.

PLANT WITH PURPOSE

For a smaller space, choose plants with three seasons of appeal. Plants like Serviceberry, Magnolia and Witch Hazel, provide flowers, berries, and a unique branch structure or distinct winter bark.

DESIGN FOR MENTAL WELLNESS

Incorporating seating, a water feature for the birds and a space for active play means you recharge with friends and family while on your stay-cation.

CLEAN LINES

Hardscapes (patios, decks, pathways) are simple geometric shapes, with transparent railings, making the edges between the hard stone and the soft garden easier to maintain.

DON’T FORGET COLOUR!

Looking for understated and subtle?  Go green!  Textures of green, cream and white relax your head, while pops of reds, oranges and yellow add spring and summer flair.

In conclusion, there are less rules about what we need to do in the garden. Instead, in 2025, let’s use the garden for rejuvenation, relaxation and to gather with friends and family.  Perfect!
