Creating Structure

Native plant landscapes can be structured to look similar to traditional landscapes, while still providing habitat for wildlife and supporting the environment by sustaining pollinators, reducing water usage, and increasing biodiversity.

Here with this one year old planting already good structure is emerging.

Whether you prefer a tidy garden or a wild, natural meadow, The Natural Garden can help you achieve the look you want!

Enduring qualities of natural stone…

At The Natural Garden, we love to highlight the natural shape of stones! These projects are in the process of being planted and next year will fill in with lush green foliage to contrast the rugged stone steps and flagstone slabs. Keep a look out next year for updated photos showing how dense native plantings changes things!

Living with Nature

There is nothing quite like immersing yourself in the beauty of plants, and we hope this photo helps capture a little bit of that feeling—though, of course, nothing beats experiencing it in person!

Greenspaces are an important part of our everyday lives, offering places to relax, de-stress, reconnect with nature, or simply enjoy the beauty around us. They also provide important benefits to the larger ecosystem by helping prevent erosion, filter and clean water, and improve air quality.

And perhaps most importantly, they create habitat and resources for the insects, birds, and other wildlife we share these spaces with.

Summer to Fall: A Meadow’s Transition

This gorgeous meadow is filled with a variety of Virginia native plants, with asters and coneflowers taking center stage in its first year of flowering.

As temperatures drop, the plants begin to transition and create intriguing seed heads. The changing colors keep the meadow visually engaging, remaining vibrant even as some plant communities enter dormancy for the cooler seasons ahead.

As spring arrives, these plants will wake up and fill the space with a sea of green. Dropped seed heads will increase the impressive density of this meadow while adding more variety to the plant population, creating an even more robust meadow in its third year!

Follow along to see how this meadow develops and changes during the seasons!

A Native Plant Sanctuary

This stunning project spans the entire property, transforming what had been only lawn into a lush meadow-savanna filled with Virginia native perennials, grasses, trees, and shrubs. Here we are showing the front yard, where planting beds provide a relaxed cottage feel and a stone walkway lead to the front door where one can lean back on a rocking chair and enjoy the views.

Moving out from the house and beds a “river” of lawn provides both path and a visual pause as a transition into the more naturalized meadow-savanna beyond.

A diverse selection of plants fills the meadow-savanna, with species chosen for the varying conditions found throughout the property. Together, these layers of vegetation create a meadow-savanna that flows across the landscape.

Have questions about creating a more naturalized landscape of your own? Reach out!
