Plant Resource Guide
We have found that it helps our clients to see pictures of plants that we are recommending as part of their landscape design. Photos of the plants help our clients visualize them in their own environment and minimize the risk of deciding to change a plant after it has already been installed in their landscape. To make all of this easier, we have put together a list of plants more commonly used in landscapes in our geographic area. The guide incorporates both the scientific name and the common name for each plant. To use the guide, simply click on the plant that you want to see.
