4 season interest creates a visually appealing garden and attracts a diversity of wildlife to watch.
While boxwoods are okay, EARTHeim designs go well beyond the basic landscape full of overly used plants
It gives back to the environment instead of harming it. It reduces fossil fuel consumption, use of harmful chemicals, noise pollution, and landfill waste.
