Every client  I have worked with has a distinct scenario. No two clients are alike when taking into consideration their goals and visions for their garden space with the soil, sun and slope conditions.

Chasmanthium latifolium, Rudbeckia triloba, Solidago nemoralis and Rudbeckia fulgida for a sunny garden with dry soil.

The diversity abounds! Client requests for native plant gardens have included:

Flowering perennials for sunny, dry soil that attract beneficial insects adjacent to their vegetable and herb garden,

Aggressive perennials that can tolerate a wide range of conditions and compete with invasive, exotic plants,

Flowering perennials for honey bees to use in honey production, forming a colorful, sunny, dry soil meadow with blooms throughout the growing season,

Shrubs and perennials that provide winter interest in a shady area with moist soil,

Over story and under story trees, in addition to perennials to restore a riparian area of the property that is part of a protected area,

Flowering perennials and shrubs that can tolerate a periodically flooding low spot in the property,

Low-growing shrubs and perennials to help stabilize a shady, dry soil slope that also attract butterflies and song birds

Shrubs for shady, dry soil area that provide winter interest, attract song birds and block the view of neighbors,

Groundcover to replace lawn in both sunny, dry soil and shady, moister soil,

And so many more!

I can help find the right plants and garden design to meet the environmental conditions and goals for all types of native plant gardens.
