That’s a big question and I try to figure it out every day! Let’s break it up into the business and me. Oh who am I kidding, the plants are me so this is what the business and I stand for:

Sustainability - a word used probably way to much. For us it means working with your environment, recycling and reusing anything that comes in a container, composting, growing our own flowers.

Trust - Clients trust us in our extensive knowledge of the plant world and environment for design, eye pleasing designs and color palettes to work with your space and that we always have you in mind.

Ecosystems- Creating designs that work together above and below the ground for pollinators and improvement of soils.

Passion - Once you start working with me, you’ll know I can talk about plants, design, mechanics, tools and research forever. If I don’t know it, you bet I will soon.

Individuality - I do not copy or repeat designs. I physically can’t, my body and mind just can’t do it. I design based off of our conversations, plants you may have never heard of but I know you will love and your environment.
