Gardens by Demetra (GbD) grew out of a lifelong passion for organic gardening,
design, and habitat building. Consistent organic practices help ensure that clients
enjoy landscapes that are both beautiful and good to the earth. I am proud to
confirm that my created landscapes never rely on pesticides, herbicides, or chemical
fertilizers to thrive and provide their owners and visitors with lasting and
healthy enjoyment.
An essential component of GbD landscapes is use of native plants. This is key,
because many other gardens rely solely upon use of exotic plants, which often
do not offer beneficial habitat to native insects and birds. Such "visual only"
gardens may seem like Grandma's parlor; they're lovely to look at but not very
friendly to be in and not very effective at providing you with a synergetic natural
resource. I plant native plants to help attract beneficial insects, butterflies, and
birds that so many of us love to see and hear in our gardens, and that can
actually assist in keeping our gardens cultivated and alive.
Whether your desire is a small container garden or a 360-degree residential
design, GbD is pleased to work closely with you to create an exquisite custom
garden for outdoor living to match your needs, goals, and preferences. I am
happy to provide references from former and current clients, as well as visit
your property with no obligation to discuss your project in greater detail.
Make the most of your outdoors!
