Services

If you need help identifying and rescuing plants of value in an heirloom garden we are here to assist with the re-design and installation of new supplemental material.  

When a restoration project presents itself we often suggest using these opportunities to also remove any aggressive non-native species that are detrimental to the environment. Many plants that are now known as invasives started out as potted ornamentals on the benches at garden centers. As information becomes available it is our responsibility to adapt in ways that benefit the planet. 

 Offerings include in-ground color enhancements to coordinate with container plantings, one time installations, garden restoration/rehabilitation and weekly, bi-weekly or monthly garden maintenance services.

 We offer full service landscape maintenance for all ornamental landscape plants within garden beds excluding turf and large, mature trees, although we're happy to make referrals to qualified service providers when needed. 

We provide creative solutions to common landscape issues with people, pet and eco-friendly methods. We build a custom service program based on the inventory of plants to be serviced to ensure that the needs of all plants are properly addressed. We specialize in removing/minimizing turf spaces in favor of ecologically beneficial plant selections.  

 Gardens should be a place of relaxation, inspiration and wellness. We customize outdoor spaces to blend seamlessly with their surroundings and we love to create all types of gardens. Available for both residential and commercial sites, our designs are customized to the location. Among our favorite garden styles are cottage and cut flower gardens, pollinator and wildlife attracting, native plants, animal-resistant, rain gardens to absorb runoff or drought-tolerant to reduce water consumption. Regardless of the style, we like to use the right plants for the location and will always locally-source only the best and most appropriate materials. 

When you're ready for a new landscape installation we can assist in all facets of the project, we focus on proper plant selection and placement in our designs and our goal is to create a successful and thriving landscape that exceeds any and all expectations. We work with a network of talented professionals to bring you plantings, hardscapes and features that will enhance your outdoor space to attain maximum function and enjoyment. 

 Seasonal container gardens are custom works of art created specific for each client and setting. Residential pieces often reflect the client's personality and preferences while commercial pieces are assembled based on the site needs, level of traffic and the maintenance requirements. Containers are available for every occasion, including but not limited to seasonal changes, special occasions, events and holidays.   We happily incorporate specific plants upon request but there's a certain magic that happens when we're left to our own devices. Our arrangements often omit standard, recognizable garden fare and focus heavily on less-common plant material. Each season we trial new combinations to discover what will perform best in the variable New England climate.   

 With rainfall increasing in frequency and volume with nearly every storm, we have few options to divert some of the runoff and protect our infrastructure and waterways. Runoff from roads, driveways and even our roofs contain toxins that are readily appearing in our waterways. Building a rain garden is an easy way to allow runoff slowly percolate into the Earth where it can be slowly filtered instead of disappearing down a drain and out to sea. By digging a deep trench and lining it with rocks and native plants that can handle these conditions, we can help prevent water from seeping into our homes while simultaneously protecting wildlife and adding low maintenance/high value habitat to our properties.   

  Houseplants are seeing a resurgence in popularity and with good reason.  There are numerous health benefits to adding a few plants to your office or home. In addition to contributing to an overall improved sense of well-being, certain plants can filter toxins from our household air supply. Interior air can be up to 5 times more harmful than the air outdoors due to items such as furniture upholstery and carpeting  release volatile organic compounds, invisible pollutants in our homes and offices. In many ways, houseplants help create a healthier atmosphere. 

 The world has changed significantly in the past few years and instability in the food supply chain has exposed a very delicate system. Compounded with the changing of the climate, we are likely to experience more frequent and severe complications with food production. Home grown produce may seem daunting at first, but the rewards are plentiful. And delicious! 

Growing your own food is so satisfying and culinary gardens are the best way to ensure your favorite flavors are always in season.

There are numerous fruit trees that thrive in Connecticut as well as fruit producing shrubs, a few are even indigenous and well suited to our growing conditions. 

Mixing edible crops into ornamental landscapes can be easy and rewarding, let us know if this service appeals and we’ll create a custom garden based on your palate and preferences. 

  It has always been a source of joy to work with tropical plants. For many years this meant enjoying them within the confines of a heated greenhouse or utilizing them in our summer arrangements for our New England clients. 

The excitement of working with tropical plants can no longer be contained to a single season, we are pleased to announce the Florida division: every winter we travel to work with our beloved tropicals, in situ. 

When winter arrives in Connecticut we select a few lucky clients for garden projects in sunny south Florida. Our service window is limited to the winter months- we can’t offer year-round maintenance however we do offer design and installation as well as annual pruning and maintenance services. 

We currently provide service in the following counties: Lee, Collier, Dade and Broward.
