Top 5 Favorite Plants to Light
With Earth Day upon us this weekend, Craig and I thought we would share our favorite plants that should be in your gardens. They also happen to be our top 5 to illuminate at night. We’re always looking for creative ways to add color and texture to landscape lighting and we believe these options will do just that! Some of the best gardens we’ve lit have been carefully planned for all hours of the day, even nighttime. When these plants are highlighted at night, they completely change the mood and visual impact of your property and give your gardens an attitude you didn’t know it had.

One of our favorite things to hear from a new client is, “I’m in the planning stages of building my property and wanted your opinion.” We love getting invited into the process early, and dreaming with our clients to help them create and achieve their ultimate lighting goals.

The Throughstone Group was a collection of collaborators, designers, and thinkers, all working on landscape design together. We worked across disciplines to create an integrated approach to design, working solid metals, water, and fire into all our projects. The highest-profile project we collaborated on together was this project in Durango, CO, where Northwest Outdoor Lighting was able to highlight the hand-crafted stonework and unique design sensibility of the other designers.
