Equinox Landscape

There's still time for our May Plant of the Month: MEXICAN SNOWBALL (Echevaria elegans). As we head into our seasonal dry spell, what better time to feature this lovely drought-friendly succulent. Native to the semi-deserts of Mexico, the snowball forms beautiful rose-like flower clusters. Blooms appear on long stems in spring and summer. Perfect for your low-water landscape and fire resistant zero-zone plantings.

Fine gardening requires fine maintenance. Equinox is pleased to maintain and manage this beautiful 1.8 acre property in Corte Madera. Our skillful crew employs ecologically sustainable tools and techniques. We pride ourselves on our deep knowledge of ornamental and edible plants, permaculture methods, hardscaping care and repair, and so much more.

Home grown vs. store bought: which veggies are best for your garden? Onions? Nah - they take 4-6 months to mature and occupy precious space the whole time. Plus store bought ones are cheap, plentiful and taste fine. But TOMATOES? The flavor difference is epic. Other best bets:
SALAD GREENS/LETTUCE. Fresh and well-suited for our climate. No more limp, slimy bags from the store.
SNAP/SNOW PEAS. Fast growing, tolerates cool fog. So fresh and crunchy.
CUCUMBERS. Come in a wide range of varieties: pickling, lemon, Persian, Armenian and many more. Produce abundantly. Flavor can't compare to the store.
The rest of our top picks? ZUCCHINI/SUMMER SQUASH. KALE & CHARD. SNAP (GREEN) BEANS. CULINARY HERBS. ... Don't forget to grow organically and water appropriately in early A.M. or P.M. We can include a beautiful organic vegetable garden as part of your design, so please give us a call!

Outdoor lighting evokes a cool vibe while illuminating the way in this newly-installed San Rafael garden and hardscape.
