Plan The Design For Privacy & Color

Start with trees to create a secluded feel such as a Hollywood Hedge™, so named because of their use by Hollywood’s elite. Accent these with flowering trees that come in many different colors and branching structures. This will bring you many different views and aromas that will enhance your spirits. Trees such as Crape Myrtle, Hong Kong Orchid, Vitex, Magnolia, Tipu, Purple Leaf Plum, and Bottle Brush are all perfect additions to nearly any landscape.

Add Nutrients & Sustainability

Next, add some fruit trees to create an edible and sustainable landscape. Not only do these trees produce excellent fruit but they have beautiful flowers and aroma in early spring. Moon Valley Nurseries has been growing our very own custom fruit for over 26 years. We have perfected the growing methods over time and guarantee the best tasting fruit available.

Create A Relaxing Atmosphere

Now that you have all your beautiful trees designed into your landscape, accent these with palm trees. With the blowing winds, palm tree fronds create a beautiful sound and add elegance to any landscape style. Use smaller palms around your trees for accents such as Pygmy Date Palms, Sago Palms, and younger Mediterranean Fan Palms. Taller palms such as the Piru Queen Palm, Windmill Palm, and King Piru Palm will give you different colors and textures filling out your healing garden.

Give Nature An Invitation

Finish off your new healing garden with plants that will attract beautiful wildlife such as butterflies, hummingbirds, and ladybugs. Moon Valley Nurseries has many different trumpet-style flowers such as the beautiful reddish-orange of the Cape Honeysuckle, Orange Jubilee, Lantana, Hibiscus, Cape Plumbago, and so much more.

Planting shrubs of varying heights and colors gives a serene, peaceful feeling while adding pops of color throughout your landscape. Using pottery and containers is perfect for placing these colorful plants on and around patios and sitting areas.
