F² Design specializes in deer resistant plantings that are managed with out the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

The boxwood nursery grew out of a passion for boxwood and the need for a source of plants that are free of disease. F² Environmental Design chose to do specific research on boxwood, because it is a plant that has been historically mismanaged and our organic methods would benefit this large complex family of plants. If it is successful with boxwood, it can be successful with virtually any plant palette. The latest influx of the boxwood blight, Cylindrocladium buxicola, emphasizes the need for a shift in cultural practices. With proper soil management, the use of appropriate cultivars specifically chosen for the site, proper cultural practice, the absence of chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, the plants thrive within our projects and designs.
