Native Garden
A GUIDE TO CREATING BEAUTIFUL HOME LANDSCAPES
WE WANT TO HELP YOU CREATE STRIKING HOME LANDSCAPES THAT BENEFIT WILDLIFE AND YOU.
This site provides practical, educationally-sound information on native landscaping developed specifically for first-time native plant gardeners looking for help getting started.
The site also features a growing number of free, downloadable native garden designs created by professional landscape designers for multiple ecoregions in the United States, taking into account various light, soil and moisture conditions.
A plant list accompanies each design and provides a quick preview of the diversity and beauty of the native plants incorporated in each design. Both the designs and the plant lists are printer-friendly.
We hope these resources inspire, encourage and motivate you in your native garden journey!

Neonics & Advocacy: Protecting Pollinators and Influencing Policy
December 12th at 6:00 PM (CST)
Neonicotinoid insecticides, commonly known as “neonics,” have become the most widely used insecticides in the U.S., leading to drastic declines in bees, pollinators, birds, and aquatic ecosystems. In this webinar, Lucas Rhoads, Senior Attorney with NRDC’s Pesticides & Pollinators Team, will share expert insights on how neonics impact our environment and pose serious risks to human health. He’ll delve into the harms associated with neonic-treated seeds, which are a major source of contamination, and explore effective policy advocacy strategies to rein in their widespread use without disrupting farmers or landscapers.
