<strong>Mike&#39;s Gardening Philosophy:</strong>

I believe that every garden can be beautiful, functional and sustainable.

<strong>Beauty:</strong>  Regardless of the style of your home or existing garden, the principles of balance, contrast and harmony can bring a sense of order and unity to your residence.

<strong>Function: </strong> As important as beauty might be, if you can’t make use of the landscape around your home, precious living space is going to waste.

<strong>Sustainability:</strong>  Any garden can be established and maintained with a positive impact on the environment and without wasting precious natural resources.
