A beginning, rooted in your yard
Plan My Native Garden
A sunny patch or a shaded corner. Find a thoughtful starting mix for the space you have.
Your garden’s starting plan
Full sun200 sq ft
Flowers with a shrub anchor
Shrubs can anchor this area while repeated groups of flowers add habitat and color. Check the bed width against each shrub’s mature spread; a tree is not the starting recommendation for this footprint.
A native mix to consider
- Sweet pepperbushClethra alnifolia
Deciduous shrub with fragrant late-summer flowers. Prefers moist, acidic soil; flowers best with some sun.
- Butterfly weedAsclepias tuberosa
Orange summer flowers support pollinators. Best in dry to average, well-drained soil.
- Wild bergamotMonarda fistulosa
Lavender summer blooms for bees and butterflies. Allow room for its spreading habit.
- Smooth blue asterSymphyotrichum laeve
Late-season blue flowers extend color and pollen into autumn in well-drained soil.
- Group flowers in repeated patches and include blooms at different times for pollinators. Keep stems and seed heads where practical for habitat.
Your first step
Mark out your 200 sq ft planting area and note its width, soil moisture, and full sun conditions. Start with a property walk to confirm the soil, mature plant spacing, and a manageable first planting bed.
A starting direction, not a final planting design. Soil, moisture, deer pressure, mature plant size, and local suitability need a closer look.

A glimpse of what can grow
Room for a little wonder.
Soft petals, busy wings, and the lovely wildness of a garden alive. This is the feeling we grow toward.
A few things you might wonder
Curious by nature?
You do not need to know plants to begin. Just bring your questions and a little curiosity.
Let’s talk about your yardWhere do I start with a native garden?
Start with a small area and a conversation about your yard. We can walk your property together, look at the light and soil, and talk about what you hope to see growing there. You do not need to change everything at once.
How much upkeep does a native garden need?
New plants need attention while they establish, including watering and weed removal. Over time, a planting suited to your site can become less demanding. Seasonal tending still helps keep it healthy and intentional.
What will my garden look like through the seasons?
Native gardens have a changing rhythm. New growth arrives in spring, flowers bring color through the growing season, and seed heads and stems add texture later on. A thoughtful mix of plants keeps the garden interesting beyond its blooms.
Can a native garden still look neat and tidy?
Absolutely. Native does not have to mean untamed. Defined edges, repeated plants, and thoughtful spacing can create a tidy, welcoming garden that still makes room for wildlife.
