The Palette:  Plant Selection

As the hardscaping constitutes the drawing on a landscape's canvas, so the plant selection constitutes the artist's palette.

Plants add color, fragrance, texture and seasonal interest to your outdoor space, and here in the Midwest, it is the number one topic of conversation during the spring. For a gardening enthusiast, choosing the right plant is like choosing the perfect name for your child.  For the average gardener, choosing the right plant can be a mysterious rite of passage!  

               

 

What plant would enhance a raised bed?  Why did that plant do so poorly?  Why does a shrub look great in my neighbor's yard, but terrible in mine?  Should I plant annuals or perennials?  Which ones?  How many?  How fast will that tree grow?

Plants are an investment in money, time and energy - they are an investment in a living entity.  Trinity Design can help you choose the right plant, the proper number of plants and assist you in providing the selections with the proper care and long term maintenance.
