2022 In Review

As we are getting ready for the 2023 season we wanted to share a few photos from 2022. We put lots of fresh native plants in the ground and maintained many previously installed gardens where the growth of plants over time is able to be seen.

Part of the landscaping business sometimes includes missing out on the chance to see a project grown over time. We are especially grateful to have customers who hire us for maintenance work, giving us the opportunity to see and enjoy our work season after season. If you’re needing help maintaining your landscaping gardens this spring give us a ring!

Judith’s in the Journal Gazette

This past Sunday’s edition of the Journal Gazette featured an article in the Living section discussing the benefits local gardeners have discovered planting native plants in their gardens. The writer of the article, Terry Richardson, interviewed Judith and photographed her home garden to share with the city. There is much excitement in the increased interest that native plants are receiving these days. We at J. Lynne Associates are happy to see these plants getting the attention they need for the benefit of our local ecosystem!

Here is a clip out of the article for you to read. Enjoy!

My 10 years in the retail nursery business alongside my co-workers also provided me with valuable insight. Also, container gardening with native perennials is new, and we are happy to be leading the trend.”
