Emil Friend and Angele Sweet are long-time Bay Area residents who are passionate about design, horticulture, and a healthy environment. Friend + Sweet is a cooperative effort to provide better landscapes and better service. Friend+Sweet embrace and promote Bay-Friendly principles like the appropriate use of native and habitat-supporting plants, responsible efficient irrigation, and support for healthy soils. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles to minimize reliance on chemicals and toxins. And we proudly partner with community groups who are doing important work restoring and protecting Bay Area habitats.
