To develop these relationships, our gardens incorporate plant combinations that are both beautiful and function as a complex ecosystem.
We expertly choose plants that provide seasonal interest and bloom year round.

Dragonfly Ponds utilize the rainwater that runs down your drainpipes and onto your property.
It is then rerouted through trenches into a deep pit filled with layers of filtering stones.
This pit becomes the "pond", holding the water for beneficial insects like dragonflies to drink from.
Along with this ecologically friendly design, they add an artistic, unique approach to your garden!

As a teenager, Andrea Hurd worked with her father in his pottery studio.
One technique she learned from him was how to make knee pots.
Clay is formed over the knee, giving the piece an organic quality.
Andrea's knee pots are artful as well as useful.
Delicate and gorgeous, they can be used as vases for flower arrangements, serving dished for chopped herbs or table bowls for salt.
Knee pots are also practical in your garden.
They serve beautifully as a water source for butterflies and other beneficial insects such as dragonflies.
