We are a group of professionals, residing in the area, with years of landscaping experience and backgrounds in horticulture, ecology, conservation, and design. We believe fervently in the beauty and importance of native plants and in their critical roles in sustaining and enhancing the places where we live and work. We have demonstrated ecological gardening practices in our own gardens, and in those we create for others. We feel that many share our environmental concerns, but there are few opportunities for people to see gardens that have been created organically and incrementally, and that display the beauty, value, and appropriateness of native plants.
