About Us
We’re a homegrown, woman-owned greenhouse and landscaping company that values the natural world and sustainable gardening. We sprouted in 1979 with Heidi’s Lifestyle Gardens, a fine gardening and landscape design and install firm. In 2016, we planted our roots in a five-and-a-half-acre campus where we grow thoughtfully-selected annuals, perennials, herbs, veggies, shrubs, evergreens, fruit trees, and more. With over 40 years of experience, we’re committed and passionate about the green industry, offering native plants that provide numerous benefits to the landscape. Our staff is 75 percent female and includes expert horticulturalists who create and maintain beautiful gardens to enhance our clients’ encounters with nature.

- Use electronic devices, online billing statements, and cloth towels to reduce paper waste
- Leave greens debris up for the winter and not pull it off site too soon in the spring as dormant insects, good bugs, inhabit the hollow stems of plants
