Inscription.
The "Know" Maintenance approach to perennial gardening is an easy-care option for those who want less work in the garden. This garden was inspired by the designs and insight by Roy Diblik, a renowned garden designer and nursery owner from Wisconsin. This approach emphasizes understanding the characteristics of the plants you want and the site where they are to be planted. By understanding these two main facets, one can greatly reduce the gardening work required to maintain the landscape.

Explore! The plants here were selected for their preference for full sun and low water needs.
