Details include: Photo, Height and spread, Bloom time, other seasonal interest (berries, fall color), Beings that visit and enjoy, Maintenance requirements.

You will also receive a detailed plant list as from the “Gravel Path” so that you can envision how the garden will look in all seasons and have a good grasp on the maintenance commitment.

    We work together to make sure this is the garden for you, by reviewing the map upon its completion and including one round of revisions if necessary.
