Santa Fe Gardens

You know Santa Fe, New Mexico for its natural beauty along the Santa Fe River.  In the background are the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.  The high desert landscape and timeless construction provides Santa Fe with its unique signature.

Homeowners build their homes with high adobe walls, keeping the secret of the beautiful and lush gardens behind their walls.  These gardens and yards shelter the homeowner.  Each garden is a signature of the resident.  They provide a lush oasis from the high New Mexico desert.

Adobe walls make the ideal canvas to the flowers and plants of the garden.  They paint adobe walls in classic earth tone colors.  These classic walled courtyards give the resident an intimate feeling of nature.  From the courtyard, every leaf and flower stand out.

In Santa Fe’s climate, robust plants thrive.  You find Maximilian Sunflowers, Austrian Copper roses, Persian Yellow roses, and lilacs.  These plants provide a brilliant setting for courtyard entertaining.
