Inspiration Everywhere:

 Sometimes a path inspires and it’s hard to explain exactly why.

 The mix of colors, the stone work, the loose structure the seasonal color provides?

 That is where experienced landscape architects come into play. We understand and we get to that core “feeling” of a simple walk and turn that into your realized dream.

Magenta

Magenta:

Means Harmony and balance

 Promotes compassion and kindness

 Encourages a sense of contentment

 This coneflower, grown at our sister company @montalegarden, is just a wonderful color pop to any garden.

Summer Beauty Allium

Lilac

Lilac:

 Considered Graceful

 Associated with romance and affection

 The Summer Beauty Allium is always a show stopper. Great color, long and lanky leaves and bees love them. Grown at our sister company @montalegardens we are always happy when we can specify these.

Iris

Purple

Purple:

 Royalty and Nobility

 Represents wisdom

 Can help with Peace and Pride

 It also is associated with creativity, which is maybe why we love this Iris so much. Pair this with the ‘Mauna Loa’ orange daylily and get a massive color pop in your garden.

White

White:

 Light and Purity

 Means goodness and cleanliness

 Represents a successful beginning

 What’s most important to us is that it is the color of perfection. This phlox ‘David’ is snowy white and helps balance out the other colors in the garden.

Orange

Orange:

 Combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow

 Associated with joy and sunshine

 Represents enthusiasm

 As the weather begins to change slowly orange is the color of fall and the harvest. This daylily ‘Mauna Loa’ is absolutely stunning in a mid summer garden.
