Hello
I believe landscapes rich in native plants and their native insect and animal partners are a joy and a necessity. Native plantings can suit each individual homeowner and provide a sustainable, naturalistic, formal, cottage style, tidy or more “wild”aesthetic. I am a long-time Northern Virginia native and have lived in Prince William County since 1989.
