Naturescaping

Naturescaping is beauty and function. It is the practice of designing (or redesigning) a landscape so that it reduces water use, stormwater runoff, and pollution without sacrificing splendor. Plus, it saves you time, money, and energy – all while providing a beautiful habitat for birds, wildlife, and you. The practice focuses primarily on native plants, helping you to choose the best ones for your particular setting and needs. Native plants are recommended because they are adapted to our soil and climate so they need relatively little or no watering, fertilizing, or care once established. They are also less susceptible to common garden pests and diseases, and they attract a variety of native birds and butterflies by providing food and shelter.
Host a Workshop
A naturescaping workshop is a great way to get your neighbors involved in a community beautification project or assist a nearby school to create an environmental learning lab. Hosting a workshop helps create more community in your neighborhood and wildlife habitat that doesn’t stop at property lines.
