At LaPlante Design we have a passion for plants. Our own personal garden was written up in July, 2005. (A West Seattle couple turns lackluster yard into lush living space) This year we were honored to be on the West Seattle Garden Tour. Here is a quote from the tour booklet.

'For seven and a half years this urban lot has been lovingly transformed into a "plant pig's" paradise. Every item is labeled and affectionately tended. Birds and wildlife are attracted to this garden where the color wheel sets the stage blending harmony with contrast.This garden has one of the loveliest swales ever planted on a city lot...'
