This past Saturday I had the pleasure (with permission of course) of filming Mr. Evans lecture about these plants. From Arctostaphylos to Zauschneria (aka Epilobium), these plants are easy to grow, 100% sustainable and available for purchase at Tree of Life.
The three videos are as follows...
- Part 1 - Tall Growing Plants
- Part 2 - Medium Growing Plants
- Part 3 - Low Growing Plants
(I apologize for the video quality - I am in process of getting a better video editing software)

I personally have shopped at Tree of Life many times either for myself or a client and I will say from my own experience that the staff is very knowledged and friendly. Sustainable design is not just about what you use, but also where it is made. Buy locally made whenever possible!
