Background
The gardens on this tour --
all designed, installed and maintained by Janet Moyer Landscaping -- have
been created as venues for families to enjoy as extensions of their
homes. These garden "rooms" highlight a multitude of features that
families with urban gardens seek: play areas for children, incorporating
edible plants and veggie growing areas when possible, and, of course,
beauty.

While the tour focuses on gardens that please families, each one is
unique and contains interesting ideas adaptable to other types of
gardens. Attendees will observe pathways through fragrance, habitats for
birds and butterflies, and restful retreats. Plants were chosen
throughout for low maintenance and year-round attractiveness. All gardens
utilize smart irrigation controllers to maximize low water usage. The
highest priority of a Janet Moyer designed landscape is twofold:
sustainability and beauty without effort.
