Using Xerophytic plants in your garden is the ideal way to ensure an attractive, low-maintenance and drought-resistant garden that looks great and cheerful even at the height of summer!

Not inclined to simply repeat the same designs, we approach each project as an individual creative process that begins with the land’s setting, orientation, gradient, drainage and a host of other characteristics that not only enhance the final visual impact but also easy (low-cost) maintenance, enjoyment and environmental credentials. Put differently, we work hard to reflect the essence of the spot and transform it into a uniquely engaging and beautiful place to be.
