COMPANY BACKGOUND
Lost Valley Gardens (LVG) has two primary business divisions, the wholesale nursery and growing operation, and the landscape services operation. Lost Valley Gardens wholesale nursery is dedicated to providing high quality, organically grown, herb, bedding, and vegetable plants to local retail nurseries, restaurants, garden centers, and landscapers. The nursery does not use any synthetic chemicals, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides in its production process.
The plant material produced by the Lost Valley Gardens nursery is propagated from seeds and cuttings in the propagation area of the greenhouse. The seeds are high quality, organically certified (whenever possible) and obtained from reputable vendors or from plants growing on the nursery grounds. The cuttings are obtained from organically grown plants on the nursery grounds. Crop pests, weeds, and diseases are controlled primarily through management practices including physical, mechanical, and biological controls. When these practices are not sufficient, a biological, botanical, or synthetic substance approved for use on the National List is used.
The Lost Valley Gardens landscape services division provides a comprehensive set of services ranging from design and installation to maintenance. Emphasis is placed on esthetically pleasing, yet practical and sustainable landscapes.
The company's philosophy is based on an integrated, balanced view and practice of living and working in a manner which is completely dedicated to enhancing and improving the environment and the community's quality of life. This philosophy is reflected in our high quality products and services, the methods, techniques, and materials used, and the service oriented attitude that results from a sincere desire to please our clients.
