This is Canoe Canal West, now enhanced with native trees like Oklahoma Redbuds and Possumhaw Hollies that attract pollinators to the flowers and birds who flock to the berries. We love working with HOA's to create park and public spaces where residents can enjoy the wonders of Nature! Often projects like this require the partnership of several organizations such as the HOA, City staff, National Wildlife Federation, US Fish and Wildlife, Flood Control Districts, and commercial landscape companies. When these partnerships are created, and you have a good habitat landscape designer, the results are wonderful! Improving communities with the wonders of Nature!

It's been fun to watch the foliage contrasts in this landscape. Texture, form, and structure do the heavy lifting toward a garden that "pays rent" year round — a new seedhead each season, shifting combinations, and real interest even in winter.

This residential green roof and ground level garden was designed with the client’s specific lifestyle in mind. The client had long dreamed of being able to look out her bedroom window into a life-filled rooftop scene with flowering native plants and grasses frequented by local birds, butterflies and bees. A biodiverse, native plant filled ground level garden was also a high priority. K. Dakin Design made this dream a reality, selecting climate adapted plantings that would appeal to these wildlife visitors, benefitting the homeowner, the regional ecosystem and the pollinators themselves.

"We just love it. Everyday I sit here and look out this window or sit on this porch and just revel in the color that’s unfolding. And the bird activity! I'm a birder so... it's just stunning."

We worked closely with this client to convert this half-acre slope from invasive vines, weeds and saplings to create this gorgeous, meadow-inspired, pollinator garden. Using a palate of largely native grasses and flowers is a delight to the senses through the four seasons. And, perhaps most importantly, serves as a vital pathway to our most cherished native birds and bees.

The steep slope that separates the existing pond from this area needed to become a focal point and needed to limit erosion. We planted a matrix, or tapestry, of ornamental grasses and shrubs. Newly installed 9/16.
