Tropical

This garden was mostly grass and mixed perennials before we started work. The clients wanted an unusual garden and a focal point patio that would offer room for outdoor entertaining.

Plant material with lush and unusual leaves and dramatic flowers were chosen to achieve a tropical spirt. Care was taken to ensure plants would be able to thrive in this protected section of Queen Anne. Photo taken four months after planting

Foliage detail: Brugmansia, Lobelia, Rubus, and Pittosporum

The Tasmanian Tree Fern is a hardy tropical classic. Pictured with Astilbe, Carex, and Hellebores.

The lush foliage of the Honeybush will soon screen this cedar fence.

A large basalt column lends itself to a beautiful fountain.

The patio was made of dimensional Gold Rush and Holcomb granite border.
