Plants for Slope Retention
A cost-effective, low-maintenance and eco-friendly solution to retain your slope is to look at Mother Nature
Conserve Water with Xeriscape
Consider allocating a portion of your garden to native Okanagan plants which thrive in our semi-arid valley.
Planting in the right spot

Alternative Lawns
One of the easiest ways to reduce your water use on the landscape is to consider alternatives to the traditional lawn.
Garden Design
A well-designed landscape is a balance: of size, shape, colour and texture. Repeating groups of similar plants throughout the garden creates a sense of continuity and will be more pleasing to your eye.
