Raised Garden Beds

Recently we obtained a new client whom had just purchased a beautiful home in Bergen County, N.J. The residence itself was immaculate, however the outside property area was somewhat neglected with regards to the lawn and bed areas. As it was the start of the gardening season, their number one priority was establishing a garden area with raised beds as they wished to grow their own vegetables and herbs and practice sustainable landscaping utilizing organic principles.

Conservation Biological Control

The balance of nature depends on the activities of parasites and predators, the majority of which are insects. Many insects, including caterpillar hunter beetles, pirate bugs, and praying mantises, keep populations of herbivorous insects in check. Equally important are parasitic insects, a prime example being braconid wasps. Conservation Biological Control eliminates the use of pesticides and chemicals by promoting the population of these beneficial insects.

Tiarella cordifolia – Running Tapestry

Foamflowers are closely related to Coral-bells (botanical name Heuchera), with similar sprays of airy flowers during mid to late spring. The foliage of this species has heart-shaped green leaves with red veins, and clouds of white flowers when it blossoms. Having a running habit is make an excellent spreading groundcover for shady woodland areas.
