Edible and Native Landscaping

We create sustainable home and garden ecosystems that functionally and aesthetically integrate edible, medicinal, and drought-resistant native plants. We strive for low-maintenance designs where the plants, beneficial insects, and other creatures support each other, lessening the work for you. We also try to include a diversity of rare and exotic plants that please the palate. (For rare fruit info go to California Rare Fruit Growers).
