Our Horticultural Programs
We choose to be organic practitioners for the love of plants, soil, the complex and delicate community of living things, and the human within. These relationships grow deeper even more as we encounter new challenges. We obsess on finding healthy methods to free us humans from exposure to synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides. We sleep well at night believing that our infestation prevention and monitoring is the finest and smartest way to protect your family and home. Avoid unnecessary chemicals in your home and the pests who want to be there too.
Larger Tree Care Program
The basic program is a series of protective applications of oils and soaps applied intelligently between March & October. Nourishment for larger trees is best done by deep root feeding in May and then again in October. For those trees susceptible to gypsy moth damage there is a specific program of fungal and bacterial sprays in May. This prevents the trees to be stripped of all of their foliage and further exhausting their nutrient reserves.
Organic Shrub & Small Tree Care
Our five-visit organic shrub and small tree program provides the nutritional needs of your prized specimens and helps to fight off pests and diseases that trouble them. It includes the application of both granular and liquid fertilizers, oils, soap, compost tea, and minerals. Our applications begin in late winter or early spring as soon as the weather permits.
Organic Lawn Care
Our six visit organic lawn care program meets the lawn’s nutritional needs and provides weed and disease-fighting support. It includes two applications of a unique, blended organic fertilizer, one application of crabgrass suppressing corn gluten, two applications of compost tea which is rich in beneficial microorganisms and trace minerals, as well as one application of PH soil-building material.
OUR MISSION
We firmly believe that our natural surrounding can be cared for by promoting life without the use of harmful means, which is dangerous to the planet we call home and for all of its inhabitants.
All of the methods and materials we use are specifically and carefully chosen for their unique ability to increase value and long-term viability.
Caustic, toxic chemicals destroy life and ultimately soil fertility, leading to a host of plant problems and people problems! Conventional landscaping devalues the soil, period.
For most, the decision to turn against the “norm” of society and seek organics boils down to health concerns.
Concerns for our family members, our beloved pets, our communities, ourselves and the planet! Synthetic pesticides and fertilizer use continues to be linked to a variety of environmental and health problems. Being assured that your property is being cared for with materials that pose little to no threat to anyone is reason enough to turn to us for all your organic horticultural needs!
Organic landscaping begins with the core understanding that healthy plants depend on healthy soil.
A steward works with nature to build fertility and enhance the soil and surrounding ecosystem. Healthy, well-balanced soil is the immune system of the planet! The foundation and backbone of all our plantings is the use of compost (the soul of soil). That foundation will ensure plants a long, healthy, and happy life.

Il Mio Amore
“My love cannot be contained,
Overflows like a spring almost divine,
Runs continuously, fills every void.
Like a tsunami overwhelms,
Like a summer breeze refreshes,
Like the sound of music without pause,
Like a symphony without end
With a tempo that often changes,
My love melodically will penetrate, Will saturate,
Reaching the most profound parts of you.
My love for you has no condition-
It existed before I existed;
It will exist eternally after my body will vanish
Without trace of memory of me.”
– Antonio
