Another one of our innovations is the use of online plant nursery sources in our fragrant garden designs. We have elevated mail order trees and plants to a consistent, high quality predictable result. There are many great online plant nursery sources instead of others that are inconsistent, overpriced and low quality. We have eliminated the guess work of online plant nursery ordering. We mix online plant nursery sources with your local garden suppliers to give you the ultimate fragrant garden. It's fun, like opening an unexpected gift.

ONLINE PLANT NURSERY CHOICES TODAY

While local garden centers are invaluable for certain plants and garden items, the main reasons for using online plant nursery ordering are:

* to save time
* to eliminate sales tax
* to avoid gasoline prices
* to shop crowd-free
* and to realize these reasons offset any shipping costs.

ONLINE PLANT NURSERY PLANTING ADVICE

ONLINE PLANT NURSERY OPTIONS

You can indicate in our questionnaire your approximate desired ratio of mail order gardening plants to larger local plants by choosing either 75/25 or 50/50. Our landscape garden design service is only available in these two formats. This is the organized online plant nursery use that makes these exotic gardens attainable.

You get more variety with the higher percent of mail order plants. Plant sizes are smaller, cheaper and easier to plant, although they take longer to reach mature size. If you choose the higher percent of mail order gardening plants, we also offer our two-phase design option.

TWO - PHASE ONLINE PLANT NURSERY CHOICE

The two-phase mail order gardening plants option uses annual vines - shrubs - flowers for a full, colorful garden the first year along with your permanent fragrant plants. We can also use fast-growing tropicals and house plants that are brought inside during winter months, or stored dormant in a garage or basement. You can also choose the "no fuss" annuals option instead. All these online plant nursery options are available to you. In phase two when your fragrant garden reaches its full glory, any remaining phase one plants- tropicals and houseplants - can be used on patios and entrance ways while it's warm.

While we will ask your color preferences and your form (formal/informal) and function needs, we do not offer design services to individuals who wish to choose the actual plants. A client chooses our level of design services for the total composition we offer, not to request a specific plant. If someone has a plant they greatly dislike, they can tell us beforehand and we will not use it in your online landscape design plans.
