Garden Themes
Native California
Beautiful, diverse, and durable; California flora attracts worldwide interest and is justifiably famous. Natives offer a palette diverse and varied as the people who have chosen S.F Bay area as their home. These plants can provide aesthetic and habitat value, serve functional and conservation needs, or add an ethical or spiritual dimension to your garden.
Mediterranean
These gardens usually inspired by Italian, Spanish, or Mission architectural elements such as stucco and tile roofs find a comfortable home here in the Bay’s similar climate. Evergreen trees and shrubs form green defining lines, while the fragrance of citrus, lavender, rosemary and roses can be smelled amongst groupings of terra cotta pots overflowing with colorful perennials and annual.
Naturalistic
Casual, wild, and seemingly overgrown; naturalistic gardens imitate the authentic look of their native region without holding strict planting guidelines. Exotic (non-natives) punctuate the scenery blending seamlessly with the native flora adding intrigue and texture, creating a rustic and random appearance.
Zen
The influence of the east is undeniable here in California and especially in bay gardens. Meditative and harmonious; Zen gardens use symbolism to depict the natural world. A tree represents a forest, a patch of gravel suggests a riverbank, a swath of raked sand mimics water.
Avant Garde
The geometry and materials of modern living spill out, swirl around, and compliment the carefully selected foliage, chosen and placed for sculptural effect. Artistic, dramatic, and inventive; Avant Gardens find creative ways to use recycled materials, patterns of light, and shadow, to create and develop their sense of place.
Urban Living
Not all of us have the luxury of a front or back yard, but this does not mean the comforts of the garden are out of reach. Containerized plantings can offer a huge impact for limited space using thrillers, fillers, and spillers to dazzle, delight, and energize your space.
Cacti & Succulents
Rich, colorful, exotic; these two groupings of plants are quite unique and offer a big return for little needs. There is a vast range of different cacti and succulent plants in an almost infinite variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Their diversity, combined with their natural hardy nature make them ideal for the garden.
