You can make a difference by using native plants to create your style of garden.
Consulting
Our consulting services are for people without the time and/or interest to DIY, who have the resources to hire out.
Our people-first process takes you from visioning through implementation. Our approach to native plant garden design and planning is rooted in evidence-based design principles, environmental psychology, and ecological horticulture.
Courses
Our online courses make it easy for you to create a sustainable haven yourself — no experience necessary.
No other native yarden design courses offer this level of hands-on, practical guidance with answers to your questions at every step of the way.
Newsletter
In our free newsletter, the Avant Gardener Heather Evans draws from the latest research to answer questions from our 10,000+ readers about how to design, create and manage an ecological yarden to nourish birds, butterflies and the soul. See past columns.
