Creating a space for pollinators

Recently we partnered with Landscape Architect Barbara Wilson to create and install a pollinator garden for a local client, establishing an oasis dedicated to attracting and providing for these valuable creatures. By swapping out an area of their lawn to a thoughtfully curated area of beautiful native and pollinator friendly plantings, they have reduced water and pesticide usage with this more environmentally sound option. Facing a worldwide decline in pollinator populations threatening our food supply and survival of flowering plants, we can each help reverse this trend with the addition of a pollinator garden of any size to our properties. Have our team of experts recommend the best location and custom selection of diverse pollen and nectar rich plants and shrubs to help restore this critical balance to our ecosystem.

Keeping it organic

In keeping with our commitment to all properties under our care, we use only organic fertilizers to maintain these pollinator gardens at their healthiest and most attractive best. From our custom brewed organic tea to organic soil conditioners, we create environmentally friendly  growing conditions for optimal results. In an effort to be even more “green,” we use propane powered equipment that burns cleaner and reduces emissions and waste. Have us put organic solutions to work for the enhancement of your entire landscape.
