Genius Loci is a local firm committed to native landscape design, restoration and management. All of our plants are legally salvaged from construction sites in the northern/central Ohio area. They are potted with their native soil; this creates a miniature woodland ecosystem, complete with microrizzal fungi and a richly diverse seedbank. This soil can actually serve as an innoculate to barren shade gardens. Most containers include cut-leaftoothwort and spring beauties. Call if you're looking for something that's not on the list; check with us...we may have it!
