Daniel and I did an install about a month ago for this townhome on James Island, a month later the homeowner won yard of the month 🎉❤️ Although this yard has some non Native plants - we have a healthy mix of both going on! We’re thankful to have such wonderful customers and are happy to see others appreciate it as well ❤️

Pesticides and herbicides don’t just kill “weeds” or bugs—they ripple through the whole ecosystem.

Contaminated insects are eaten by birds. Poisoned rodents are eaten by owls and hawks. Even the soil life that keeps our land healthy is damaged.

A quick fix can cause lasting harm, but by choosing native plants, hand weeding, mulching, and working with nature instead of against it, we create spaces where life thrives—pollinators, birds, beneficial insects, and even the unseen life in the soil.

A healthy landscape isn’t silent and sterile. It’s buzzing, fluttering, alive ✨

What we choose to put on the land matters. 🌿

Native plants aren’t just beautiful—they’re the foundation of a thriving ecosystem 🌿

When you plant native, you’re creating habitat for pollinators like bees 🐝 and butterflies 🦋, shelter for birds 🐦, and a balanced environment where beneficial insects can do what they do best. From soil health to water conservation, every native plant plays a role in supporting life around us.

Less maintenance. More life. A stronger, more resilient landscape.

This Earth Day, plant with purpose 🌎

🌿 Native Plant Wednesday 🌿
This week we’re highlighting ✨American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) ✨

Why we love it:
💚 Native shrub with graceful arching branches
🐦 Its bright purple berries feed birds all fall and winter
🌱 Thrives in sun to part shade and tolerates many soils
💧 Low-maintenance and drought tolerant once established

Beautyberry adds year-round interest—lush green foliage in summer, show-stopping purple berries in the fall, and food for wildlife through winter. A true gem for Lowcountry landscapes!

Just six weeks of growth! 😍 The garden has really taken off, so we gave it a little TLC—pruned it back and cleared out the dead and dying leaves. A bit of good soil and a lot of love go a long way toward a thriving garden! 🌿 Fun fact: Pruning not only keeps your plants looking tidy, but it also encourages new growth and can even improve your harvest.

There’s no better way to celebrate Earth Day than by adding native plants to your landscape. Native plants save water, support wildlife, and help heal the planet—one root at a time. The foundation is set for this landscape and are ready to grow wild with us!

I love getting a text like this. I love to see the progress along the way, we planted this box on March 15th. A little irrigation, good compost and love make for a wonderful garden to eat from all summer! If you’re dreaming of a garden like this, I’d love to help! Reach out if you’re interested in getting started—I offer garden planning, setup, and support to bring your growing space to life ☀️
