PLANT PALETTE CHOICES
-
SITE-RESPONSIVE selections [soil, light, & water conditions]
-
RESILIENT & LONG-LASTING perennials & shrubs [best adaptive species]
-
INDEPENDENT, requiring LESS INPUTS of water & fertilizers
-
often NATIVE or NATIVE CULTIVARS
-
BLOOM-TIMES & displays of COLOR staggered for multi-season interest
-
PROVIDE for local ECOSYSTEMS
DESIGN TECHNIQUES
-
DENSE planting -- distinctive, LUSH, suppresses weeds & eliminates need for mulch!
-
utilize REPETITION for greater impact
-
NATURAL PLANT PATTERNS -- plants TOUCH & MINGLE with one another, as in NATURE
-
THOUGHTFUL, DEFINITIVE & AUTHENTIC -- consider existing architecture & property style
ECOLOGICAL CARE PRACTICES
-
PERENNIALS left UNCUT through winter -- food source & haven for wildlife; contribute to more dynamic winter visuals
-
LEAF MULCH -- used for initial planting & recommended in either fall to PROTECT & NOURISH or in spring to REFRESH & REVIVE [no conventional hardwood mulch]
-
Electric & ENERGY-EFFICIENT tools
