Advice from the Owner
It's a lot of work and worth all the time and labor. I didn't go with a waterline system, as we do not have sprinkler system. Instead, I water by hand 3 times per week. During that time I am taking in and enjoying my yard, the bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds that visited this year! So happy with the results. The plants are just at the right spot to plant when you pick them up. I was a bit reluctant about planting in the fall, but so glad that I talked to the staff about my concerns. They are all passionate about their work and helping talk through concerns and questions. Now we have this amazing yard to enjoy!
