PLANTS BELONG IN COMMUNITY

Beautiful, durable gardens feature specific roles based on form and ecological function.

A successful plant community offers visual interest and harmony through all the seasons, thrives in the soil that you've got, and out-competes weeds.

RIGHT PLANT, RIGHT PLACE

Our pre-designed plant mixes mirror plant communities found in natural areas.

Unassuming 'matrix' plants act as a living mulch to provide weed control and form a consistent canvas for the seasonal shows of taller forms and brighter colours.

DURABLE AND EASY TO MAINTAIN

The plants we use in our pre-designed mixes are carefully selected for longevity and low maintenance.

We prioritize plants which can thrive for years in average to poor soil on average rainfall.

Our plants are robust but don't spread aggressively, and we feature varieties which are known for a long season of bloom.

LEADING-EDGE DESIGN

Our plant mixes build on the work of the world's leading planting designers and horticulturalists. 

The 'New Wave' perennial and matrix planting movements since the '90's have culminated in a set of principles for planting design which fuses beauty and sustainability at a new level.

We are passionate about making this exciting movement accessible to all.
