John Holm Landscape Design believes in sustainable gardening. Utilizing native plants creates a garden in keeping with its environs, saves water, limits pesticides, and provides much needed habitat and food for wildlife. This is why meadows, and meadow-style plantings, have become such a large part of our program.

John has worked with some of the biggest names in meadow cultivation and has the expertise to help clients convert their properties into sustainable environments.
