I absolutely love this time of year. As the days grow shorter and the nights cooler, Mother Nature casts her spell and the colors of fall begin to appear. After months of hot temperatures, I welcome the evenings that I can put on a jacket, sit out on my patio and listen to nature. I feel blessed to live in an area that enjoys all four seasons. I look forward to each changing one!

If you are like me, you have a hard time staying indoors this time of year. The warmer spring and summer temperatures do beautiful things to my landscape.

She loved to play with color and design and created gorgeous masterpieces year after year.
You too can easily spruce up your yard and curb appeal with color by planting easy care annual flowers.

Evolution Landscape & Nursery was founded by my husband and I in the year 2000. My husband, Mike Baker, has been landscaping ever since he was a child designing masterpieces with his Tonka Toys in the dirt of his mother’s rose garden.

We now run Evolution Landscape & Nursery, a full-service landscape contracting firm out of Boise Idaho.
