Meadows & Pollinator Gardens
We practice ecologically-based landscape design, with consideration for the environment, local eco-systems and the general health of the planet. Our meadows and pollinator gardens feature plant materials native to New Hampshire and Massachusetts. They create wildlife habit for birds and promote beneficial insects that are important to the food web.
Native plantings – plant materials that are indigenous to our region, making them more resilient to New England’s adverse weather conditions and more adaptable to our soils. They provide berries, fruit and beneficial insects for birds and other wildlife that contribute to a healthy eco-system which in turn provides a healthier environment for humans.
Pollinator Habitat – mixed species of flowers that attract Native bees and other pollinators and birds that contribute to a healthy ecosystem.
Wildflower Meadows – native wildflower species that are acclimated to our soils and weather conditions. Once established, wildflower meadows are truly sustainable, require no water or fertilizer and return every year. The following images show our planting, management and results in a client’s meadow in Hollis, New Hampshire from 2017-2021:

Whether your property is large or small, we will identify the best combination of native plants that will attract beneficial insects, bees and birds and bring four seasons of interest to your garden. Your plant palette may include some of the following: echinacea, goldenrod, aster, persicaria, sedum, sage and ornamental grasses, columbine, asclepias and sedges. All of these and more will build a beautiful, sustainable habitat for the wildlife in your garden.
