Plant Lists

We have developed lists of plant groups that we like to include in our landscape designs.  These are plants that we have become familiar with in our landscapes and feel that you might enjoy knowing about.  The lists will be regularly updated to reflect our newest favorites as pictures are taken of them and inspiration strikes.  If there are specific plants that you would like information about but are not yet listed please ask.  We are only a fraction of the way there with many more plants to post.   We have found a couple of nurseries that have some of these plants for sale online.  Click on the letters below to link to an alphabetical list of the plants.
