My Favorite Garden Quotes

~ Vita Sackville-West

“Good bones are important, so it is wise to go slowly and get your plan right before launching into a vital project.”
~ Rosemary Verey

“Even the most irresistible flowering plant, one that I call a ‘key’ performer, is part of a whole cast; it has to be considered as a component in an overall look as well as for its individual charms.”

Garden Maintenance is Important

Garden Maintenance is very important. If you decide to invest in a garden or professional landscape, be sure to ask about maintenance and allow time in your schedule.

Professionals at Gardens of Growth develop and refine a customized management program for each client. A site specific supervisor is assigned to each project to oversee all aspects of the landscape maintenance for years to come.

There is no such thing as a maintenance free garden. Every garden requires tending and care or it ceases to be a garden.
