The most attractive gardens are often the most sustainable gardens. By focusing on creating healthy soils and making appropriate plant recommendations the need for irrigation as well as the use of chemical fertilizers and pest controls can be minimized. By enhancing the appearance of your property, a garden should add value but it should also be a place to celebrate the natural world. Whether it is used as a private sanctuary, a gathering place for family and friends or simply viewed in passing a garden should inspire you to slowdown, to relax.to linger Joy Jacobson received her professional landscape design training from George Washington University and her B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley.
