    The Playmates:

    Partners that garden together, stay together!

    Garden Coaching:
    With more Home time these days, make it the space of your dreams!  Give the gift of beauty, personal delight, or ecosystem enhancement, or home grown food and added real estate value—a Garden Coaching gift certificate.  Our landscape contractor and designer Bill Clodfelter enhances and transforms landscapes on a daily basis.  From coaching to design and installation—you choose. It and it starts with a Garden Coaching session.

    The right tool for the job can take an outdoor garden to the next level. It's a practical and functional gift with top-notch quality that will stand the test of time. Some of our favorites include: Felco pruners, solid-cast aluminum digging fork, Mud Wonder Grip gardening gloves, Better Brooms, Safe Foam kneeling mat, Tommy Co knee armor, Coir welcome mats, and rain chains.   

    Plants:
    There are so many plants and trees that are ideal for gifting to your partner! Skip the over-priced long-stem roses in favor of planting David Austin roses, which have been bred for their exquisite fragrance. There are also several heart-leaf plants and trees suggested by our staff: 
    Beesia deltophylla—under-used evergreen perennial for the front of the border with lustrous glossy, heart-shaped leaves and white dainty flower stalks in early summer.
    Wild Ginger (Asarum)—A. caudatum (native) and A. europaeum have evergreen heart-shaped leaves which release a spicy ginger and citrus fragrance when crushed.
    Katsura (Cercidiphyllum japonicum)—larger specimen tree to 50’, also known as Maidenhair Tree after the delicate fern posing pairs of leaves spaced neatly along arching branches.  Heart-shaped leaves emerge reddish-purple in spring, mature to blue-green and shift again to yellow or apricot in autumn releasing a caramel/burnt sugar or cotton candy fragrance from decaying fall leaves. Hearts forever!
    Redbud (Cercis)—burgundy or green heart-shaped leaves appear after small, bright pink flowers decorate the bare branches in spring. Smaller-scale varieties make this genus accessible from containers to the landscape.  Striking spring color with 8 months of hearts to enjoy.
     

    Furniture and Decor:
    We offer both the famous French Fermob line and Pacific NW made cedar furniture that will take your backyard oasis to the next level. We also offer everything from ceramic/wooden/concrete/sustainable planters, benches, outdoor pillows and rugs, seating and tables, to fire pits for those chilly nights.
