Genius Loci is a local firm committed to native
landscape design, restoration and management. Most of our perennials
are legally salvaged from construction sites in the central
Ohio area and 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!
