Specialty Gardens

Water gardens create immersive aquatic environments in your outdoor space, featuring water as their primary design element rather than as a temporary condition. Ranging from formal reflecting pools lined with structured plantings to naturalistic ponds edged with specialized vegetation, from meandering streams to recirculating fountains, water gardens provide a singular experience in your landscape.

Sensory gardens expand our connection to nature past what can be seen– inviting engagement through all of the senses, including touch, taste, sound and smell.

Rock gardens showcase the remarkable ecologies of harsh, rocky, and dry environments, celebrating the specialized plant communities that have adapted to flourish in them. They unlock access to an astonishing world of plant diversity rarely seen in conventional landscapes– dwarf gems with explosive spring blooms, impossibly tiny vegetation arranged in perfect geometries, and resilient perennials that have evolved over millennia to flourish where little else can grow.

Habitat gardens weave together the essential elements of natural ecosystems, creating vibrant sanctuaries that support beneficial forms of life. By combining native and regionally-adapted plants with water features and shelter, these gardens provide critical resources throughout all four seasons.
