What Is Natural Garden Design?

Natural garden design seeks to bridge the gap between humans and nature by creating gardens that mimic the beauty and function of natural ecosystems within a human context.

Unlike traditional gardening, which focuses solely on human aesthetic desires, natural garden design looks at the whole picture, aiming to recreate the structure, diversity, and ecological functions found in nature without sacrificing beauty. Key benefits include:

  • Habitat Creation: Creates and connects habitats for native plants and animals.

  • Support for Ecosystem Services: Enhances ecosystem services such as rainfall absorption, erosion control, and carbon sequestration.

  • Reduced Maintenance: Works with nature to reduce regular upkeep, labor, time, and money inputs.

  • Reconnect with Nature: Helps humans reconnect with the natural world, fostering stewardship, conservation, and appreciation for nature.

By adopting natural garden design, we can transform our landscapes into vibrant, functional ecosystems that benefit both the environment and our well-being without sacrificing beauty.

It is time to invite nature back into your garden.
