Florentine Garden Design

Boxwood Parterre Gardens

Low geometric hedges are trimmed to precision for these elegant Italian garden designs. Gravel pathways weave through greenery, lined with tall trees along the outskirts, with large plantars in the central focal point.

Tuscan

Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, tucked in walled cites, and overlooking the landscapes are the romantic gardens of Italy. Many of the same designs and can transfer to the Okanagan, apart from a few delicate types of Mediterranean climate plants.
