Habitat Garden Design

We design and install pollinator and wildlife-friendly gardens and conservation plantings, using local genotype native plants, with an artist’s eye for beautiful and functional spaces.

Ecological Garden Care

We identify existing native plants and create conservation and restoration strategies. We can also help you maintain your landscape over time using best practices to promote ecological health.

Stormwater Management

Our plantings can reduce erosion, capture runoff, and improve water quality. We have experience working with the Virginia Conservation Assistance Program (VCAP).

Our goal is to help people create and protect wild, beautiful, livable outdoor spaces. By identifying, conserving and reintroducing locally native plants we can help build sustainable plant communities that support many living creatures — birds, pollinators and more.
