Exotic or native, the plant species selected for your garden will give it fullness and color. Many of us are looking for ways to reconnect with, care for and make a difference in support of the natural world and the environment as a whole. Conserve water and provide habitat for local wildlife with eco-friendly landscape designs.
Create an appealing "theme": Mediterranean, Japanese Southwest or Cottage Garden while capturing the "essence" of this new garden. Your planting plan builds on the concept design by showing exactly where each new plant is placed and its eventual size in your garden. Hand watering is only a feasible option for the smallest of gardens.

The first step in garden design is to develop a concept plan. The final product of this process is a drawing (to scale) showing any changes as well as pre-existing elements to be retained in the new garden design. The concept plan is a synthesis of the clients' expressed wishes for their new space along with my design recommendations for their new garden.
Get your winter cleanup and pruning done as early as possible this year, as new spring growth is likely to start ahead of schedule. Pruning after growth starts will further stress the plants. Prune roses and other garden shrubs and perennials more lightly than usual. With lower soil moisture due to drought, plants will not grow or bounce back as easily from heavy pruning.

Not only do I love it, but my guests frequently suggest that my garden should be on the cover of a major garden design magazine! Porter is nothing short of a design wizard.
