Native plants are plants indigenous to a given area in geologic time.  Ornamental plants are not indigenous to an area, but that does not mean natives cannot be ornamental as an element in a garden.  Generally, ornamental plants are grown for their decorative qualities (annuals, and non-native perennials). We find that the most interesting gardens to humans, pollinators and the like are a rich combination of both categories of plants designed to work together through the seasons. The drivers behind this harmonious relationship are our clients and our designer’s ability to create from observation and shared story.
