PLANT PALETTE CHOICES

SITE-RESPONSIVE selections [soil, light, & water conditions]
RESILIENT & LONG-LASTING perennials & shrubs [best adaptive species]
INDEPENDENT, requiring LESS INPUTS of water & fertilizers
often NATIVE or NATIVE CULTIVARS
BLOOM-TIMES & displays of COLOR staggered for multi-season interest
PROVIDE for local ECOSYSTEMS

DESIGN TECHNIQUES

DENSE planting -- distinctive, LUSH, suppresses weeds & eliminates need for mulch!

utilize REPETITION for greater impact

NATURAL PLANT PATTERNS -- plants TOUCH & MINGLE with one another, as in NATURE

THOUGHTFUL, DEFINITIVE & AUTHENTIC -- consider existing architecture & property style

ECOLOGICAL CARE PRACTICES

PERENNIALS left UNCUT through winter -- food source & haven for wildlife; contribute to more dynamic winter visuals

LEAF MULCH -- used for initial planting & recommended in either fall to PROTECT & NOURISH or in spring to REFRESH & REVIVE [no conventional hardwood mulch]
Electric & ENERGY-EFFICIENT tools
