Hello Rosemary & Bobbi
Bobbi, there are quite a few dwarf conifers in the garden and can't
remember that far back and our conversations. There are several cuties that
remain small after many years in the garden.
Rosemary... I could make an exception here for you. Would you want a
design made up for you of mixed conifers and deciduous shrubs that will
remain under the four foot range when mature? with little or no
maintenance. Also a bit of room to plant some color under and up front in
the beds. Will need a scale drawing of the front of the house including
steps, porch, etc.
You can let me know. I do not sell shrubs so will include recommendations
on where to order.
