Native garden design starts with understanding your place and what you hope it can become. I look closely at soils, light, existing vegetation, and how you move through the space, then pair that with your goals—whether that’s more pollinators, a softer edge between yard and woods, or a small planting that tells a story about this region. From there we talk through site preparation, plant selection, and how the garden will be installed, using plugs, direct seeding, or a mix of both. Each plan is tailored so the plants, layout, and methods fit your daily life as well as the land itself.
