Check out what we do!
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around. We love providing clients with a mix of design and installation work and ongoing garden maintenance. Take a look at a few projects designed by Olivia and installed by the team! Don't miss the gallery lower down displaying images of our maintenance properties.
Shade Garden Oasis
This is one of a two part install for these clients. The main purpose of this garden is to create a lovely view when entertaining on the deck. Plants were purposely installed close together and at the edge of the beds to create a lush look at maturity. We really played with the different colours and textures one can achieve in a deep shade garden like this one.
Set in the dry shade of many Doug Firs, this site was a challenge as not much would grow in the existing soil. Following a heavy soil amendment with organic fertilizers and mycorrhizal fungi, we purposefully built the soil up with topsoil and compost in order to support the introduced plants. It certainly made digging the irrigation trenches interesting!
4 Seasons of Blooms
This new build in the Cadboro Bay area was ready for some greenspace following the completion of construction. The goal with this design was to have at least one plant blooming throughout the year for continuous colour and interest - keeping in mind we needed deer proof plants. We used gentle curves to mimic those of the house and made sure to find room for two beloved Gargoyles.
The soils in the Cadboro Bay are naturally sandy which is perfect for Dahlias (they won't need to be dug up every year!), which are an amazing summer cut flower that the deer do not munch on!
Tiny Garden for Food & Flowers
We love taking a blank outdoor space and bringing it to life :)
This small back garden receives blasting full sun which left the soil cracked, dry and in need of love. Well, we brought the love! Following the soil drenching we amended with organic fertilizers, mycorrhizal fungi and a worm castings extraction mix. Wood chips are a gardeners best friend because they aid is moisture retention and feed the soil food web.
We were pleased to include Blueberries, a favourite landscape plant because of their vibrant fall colour and colourful stems in the winter, and lets not forget the delicious blueberries! The one raised bed is a great place for the client to grow a different annual vegetables every year.
