Low Maintenance Doesn’t Have To Mean No Plants

Who’s going to tell them? It’s not about the number of plants, but the type of plants. Hi, I’m Katy and I’m a horticulturist. But I’m also a working mom, wife, daughter, sister and friend. That means .. I’m busy. And you probably are too; which is why you’ve landed on this page. So let me introduce you to my mantra of gardening (or landscaping) ~ High Performance.

Like anything else in your home, or vehicle or life - there are better ways to do something. And I don’t mean popular; I mean better for you. And there is a better way to landscape that ensures you are going to be more successful and the plants are going to be more beneficial. This is called Performance Landscaping.

Performance Landscaping is not a new idea, but it has rarely been applied to home lawns and landscapes. In general, it is the enhancement of outcomes related to your landscape or garden - specifically the social, economic and environmental outcomes.

• Social - maybe you get outside more.

• Economic - maybe the value of your home increases.

• and Environmental - maybe your garden requires less input like fertilizer, herbicides and water. That’s an economic benefit too BTW.

I’m working on spreading the word. Follow along for more.
