Botanicals

The Right Plant in the Right Place

Botanicals are literally the nature of our business! From flowering annuals to repeat-performance perennials, sculptural conifers to shade-producing trees, with cooling mosses and ferns and ornamental grasses in between, botanicals include all the plants which are the heart of your impressive garden showcase.

Vivid Botanicals embraces opportunities to share our knowledge of how to successfully and impressively use "the right plant in the right place" to create garden success stories.

Owner and lead designer Jini Johnson combines an academic background in botany (the scientific study of the plant kingdom) and a passion for the art of horticultural design. Through the New York Botanical Garden Horticulture Program, a broad-based study of plant identification and culture, she has studied principles of ecology and the roles invasive and native plants play within our landscapes. This helps ensure that your garden palette will be not only visually attractive upon installation, but will remain an enduring testament to understanding nature and your surrounding elements.

One of our hallmarks is knowing which plant material best suits the exact conditions of your New York City garden space. Although many invasive species are quite attractive, they are not a good choice -- let us guide you through the decision process of selecting "the right plant for the right place." With literally millions of options, we will exceed your expectations by providing material that is naturally organically supported by your specific environmental conditions. Sun, shade, soil, wind, pollutants, bees and birds -- all play important roles in a thriving garden space.
