Mike’s Garden Top 5 Plants website was created to help my garden design clients (and the public at large) make appropriate plant choices for their landscapes. To find the trees, shrubs or perennials that you are looking for, simply click on one of the many descriptions in the tag cloud on the right side and the website will bring-up all the relevant selections – for specific plants, just enter either the botanical or common name into the search engine. Please keep in mind that the plants were chosen for conditions in coastal British Columbia (zones 6 to 8 ) – but they would also be suitable for UK gardens and the US Pacific Northwest.

Hello,
I came across your blog and was very interested in your landscaping articles. I just had a couple of questions, so if you could e-mail me back that would be great! Thank you for your time.
Hi Mike, I found your site doing a Google search for “Mike’s top five” – my own site (MikesTopFive.com). I hope you don’t mind if I post your blog on my blogroll. I liked to seek out other Mike’s with Top Fives.
