At My Dragonfly Gardens, LLC, we are passionate about the creation of natural habitats that serve as corridors to wildlife. Although we mostly use native plants, we supplement landscape designs with Florida-friendly specimens to add more colors, food sources and styles for our clients. In addition to landscape design, we do installations and maintenance that is tailored to our clients’ end-goals, while it is in complete harmony with nature.
