Unmatched Plant Knowledge
Our expertise goes beyond simple plant selection. We have one of the largest plant databases of drought-tolerant plants suited for Southern California. Embracing the principles of xeriscaping, our plant design considers their water needs and your outdoor space. This not only conserves water but also reduces maintenance labor. Our mission is to create a sustainable, low-maintenance haven that thrives in the unique California climate.
Drought Tolerant Garden
We begin with meticulous planning, considering your garden's topography, exposure, and soil, and then group plants based on their water requirements. Our designs are not limited to desert plants; we incorporate a wide variety of attractive, drought-tolerant species, including native plants that are naturally acclimatized. We also employ efficient drip irrigation systems and improve soil quality with organic matter for better water retention. With strategic mulching to conserve moisture, our gardens are not only water-wise but also rich in aesthetic appeal.
Edible Garden
We have created many edible home gardens leveraging the naturally rich soil of Orange County, which is ideal for a wide range of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. These gardens not only offer a bounty of fresh, organic produce but also align with permaculture principles, promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of food transportation. Designed to integrate harmoniously with your hardscaping, an edible garden provides both practical and aesthetic benefits. Revel in the pleasure of picking fresh herbs and vegetables directly from your garden, a truly rewarding element of sustainable California living right in your own backyard.
