This is a picture of a native Frog Fruit used as ground cover - it is easy to grow, requires very little water, and does not need mowing! It is a great alternative in areas where sod does not grow...and, pollinators love the tiny flowers! This is Canyon Crest Park in Valley Ranch. This was the first of several parks we designed to attract pollinators and educate residents on low water gardens for pollinators. 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!

I did a complete new planting design for this project which is a single family home in the suburbs of Towson. The garden is 1/3 acre in size. Most of the existing plants, including many non-native ground covers, like English Ivy, shrubs, and trees, were removed in order to bring in the sunlight for pollinators and remove interference with the power lines. I designed and installed a mostly native plant garden that is designed to be beautiful to view with many flowers blooming all season long and varied textures and movement with ornamental grasses and provides habitat and food for pollinators, like butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, and for songbirds. Nearly 100 trees, nearly 100 shrubs, and 1,000 perennials and grasses were installed. I continue to oversee the maintenance of this garden.
