A garden is discovered as much as designed. We would like to help you in the discovery of YOUR garden. Together, we can bring your dream landscape to life, by marrying your dream with the plants that will realize it. Let's talk about the possibilities: what you envision for your garden, and what we and nature can do to make that vision a reality. You know your yard, and we know our plants!

What we discover together will be a garden that not only is beautiful, but that also is thrifty in every way. When a garden and its plants fit their place, there's no need to pour time and labor and chemicals into maintaining plantings that are culturally (and otherwise) ill-suited to their surroundings. Instead of opposing the forces of nature, the well-designed and well-maintained garden works with them from inception onward. It is as easy on the budget and on the environment as it is on the eyes.

Of course no landscape is maintenance-free – which is why we also provide expert help and advice in maintaining your garden. Among the services we offer are organic care of perennials and shrubs; expert shrub pruning; garden design; consultation on the best plant choices for your yard; plant identification; and identification and control of invasive plants. We bring to each project an encyclopedic and unsurpassed knowledge of ornamental plants hardy in New England, thousands of which are seldom employed in the area's gardens. If you are looking for a garden that goes beyond the common and the ordinary and the formulaic, you've come to the right place.

I look forward to working and learning with you on this lifelong process of discovery known as a garden. I invite you to give me a call, or to fill out and e-mail our customer questionnaire.
