Ornamental Gardens
Ornamental gardens designs typically feature plants, bulbs, shrubs, grasses and trees grown for their display of ornamental features including: flowers, leaves, scent, overall foliage texture, fruit, stem and bark, and ornamental form as opposed to edible crops grown primarily for food production.
Ornamental Gardens can be designed for all types of sites and microclimates and will succeed if the plants are properly selected for their individualized landscapes and personalized client desires.
My personal approach to Ornamental Gardens is to design them so that they are ornamental, providing joy and beauty, for all four seasons. In addition, I often like to introduce lovely and productive and often fragrant edible plants, including vegetable, herbs and fruits, which offer an additional value and interest to these gardens.
I attended the 2016 City Harvest annual kickoff meeting. I have been privileged to have been part of this organization for over 10 years.
