Canyon Verde Gardens
Escondido, California
Let the canyon into the garden
Native and low-water planting for inland North County — gardens that hold their color through August on a fraction of the water.
About
Built from what already grows here
Canyon Verde plants gardens that take their cues from the chaparral around Escondido: sages and buckwheats on the sunny slopes, toyon and coffeeberry where there's shade, agaves where nothing else wants to grow. Lena started the company after years of watching thirsty lawns fight this climate and lose. The gardens we plant settle in, feed the birds, and ask for less every year.
- Water-wise by default
- Plants from regional native growers
- Slopes and canyon lots welcome
- One crew from design to planting
