  • Native plants provide beneficial habitat and support local ecology

  • Native plants describe the place we live

Garden Design Strategy

Evergreen shrubs and groundcovers (manzanita, ceanothus, rhamnus) create the garden’s structure. These foundational plants serve as a backdrop for ribbons or pockets of seasonal color (epilobium, achillea, eriogonum). Grasses add movement and texture to the garden. I select a variety of plant forms, textures, foliage, and flower color to create year-long interest.
