Caring for plants, gardens and urban forests with a focus on sustainability and ecological health.
At Leaves & Roots, we are dedicated to promoting sustainable, local gardening practices. Our focus on native plants, landscaping, and horticulture helps support the urban forests right here in our own backyard. By creating well-designed and maintained gardens in both residential and commercial areas, we can provide important habitat for wildlife and improve the overall health of the environment by connecting larger green spaces in and around the Greater Seattle Area.
“Urban forests include urban parks, street trees, landscaped boulevards, gardens, river and coastal promenades, green ways, river corridors, wetlands, nature preserves [...].
Urban forests help to filter air and water, control storm-water, conserve energy, and provide animal habitat and shade. They add beauty, form, and structure to urban design, [...] urban forests strengthen social cohesion, spur community revitalization, and add economic value to our communities."
