We realize in many cases commercial customers aren't as familiar with the diversity of plants we grow, their characteristics, or what conditions are most suitable to be planted. To help in these situations, we offer assistance in the selection and quantity of plants for your customers.
Send us information on the space to be planted and include the area, the light exposure, information on the ability/inability to water the plants, any desired colour schemes or requests along with optional photographs, sketches, or drawings of the desired beds. We will help come up with a plan and provide guidance on the correct selection of plants, their spacing, and care. These plants are not formal documents like those from landscape designers but rather simple and practical designs tuned for commercial plantings. Our priority is always the long-term all-season performance.
