What will be there?
Spring is all about new beginnings and transformation. This year we are celebrating with special indigenous plants that we have not propagated before.
These plants can become a stunning landscape with a ground layer made up of wildflowers, grasses and groundcovers. The plants contribute to biodiversity through the creation of healthier ecosystems, increasing habitat for wildlife and helping to preserve our regional landscape identity.
These plants will provide you with greater diversity in scents, textures, sights and sounds as your spaces undergo a transformation that includes all vegetation layers, from tree canopies (tall trees), shrubbery layers (smaller trees and shrubs) and a ground layer (wildflowers, grasses, groundcovers, fallen branches with moss, lichen and leaf litter. Just take a look at this glorious landscape shown below:
