Our Design Philosophy

The Growing Place designs new, renovates old or works within existing landscapes to create a balanced whole. Our Design Team is deeply rooted in The Growing Place tradition of planting the right plant in the right place to reduce maintenance and contribute to a successful, long-lasting landscape. We use a diverse selection of plants to satisfy every garden style and cultural needs. To schedule an appointment contact us at 630-820-8088 x125 or e-mail landscape@thegrowingplace.com.
