How Grasses and Shrubs From Our Garden Center Can Be Used to Complement Flowering Plants in Ulster County, NY

Have you heard the term “companion gardening”? This term is often used in vegetable gardens where certain types of plants support each other for more vigorous growth and better yields. However, it is also a great approach to landscaping, where plants that visually complement each other are strategically grouped to result in a more pleasing design. Here’s how grasses and shrubs from our garden center can be used to complement flowering plants in Ulster County, NY.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

E. P. Jansen Nursery began with an inspired vision only a family-run company can design. After purchasing her father's home and five acres of land in 1972, Elizabeth and Jan Jansen transformed the land into a community-focused, pick-your-own-strawberries, gladiolus, and chrysanthemum farm. Over ten-thousand chrysanthemums grew throughout the five acres during those early years. But as Jan and Elizabeth adapted and grew their vision, they also began to look ahead, expanding their business plan by breaking up their expansive flower offerings into separate products, and thus allowing the growth of an extensive, diverse nursery. After over 45 years, this family-focused company has grown to become the premier hardscape and plant supplier in the region. The sprawling farm now offers high-quality nursery stock curated from around the world as well as a comprehensive selection of natural stone, wall systems, pavers, blue stone, granite, and a wide variety of tools and bulk support materials.
