A professionally designed and constructed native garden offers a host of benefits, here are a few to consider: Gardens by Austplant require little or no watering and maintenance, saving you a considerable amount of time and money. We can promise you that having evergreen natives in your garden means no sweeping up piles of leaves in the Autumn!Ī native NZ garden design means you can step out into your backyard and enjoy your morning coffee, brunch or BBQ dinner with a lush, green backdrop - without having to spend hours on presentation beforehand. Austplant has been designing gardens on the Mornington Peninsula for the last 35 years. The ones that do need a little TLC, usually only need a few dead leaves cut back every so often. Some natives do their own thing and need little to no attention. Native plants are also fairly low maintenance, and for the most part, evergreen. But fear not! When it comes to natives you are almost always guaranteed to find what you want. In 2020, COVID-19 has unfortunately made this even more of an issue. Here in Aotearoa, sourcing plants is not always the easiest task. New Zealand plants are often the easiest to find. Being on their home soil means they need less water than other garden styles - resulting in less maintenance for busy Kiwis! Why expend all those resources on something that has far reaching consequences on your health, environment, and pocket book unless it really is enhancing your life? Native and edible gardens provide beauty that is truly green.If you’re looking to save money and time, a native garden is an excellent choice. They are often grown not because they are needed but because they are familiar and provide reliable greenery. We endeavour to create a landscape that will thrive, ensuring your dream garden is one that will be cherished for many years to come. But, to keep them healthy and lush requires a lot of resources: in California, over 50% of household water goes to irrigate lawns pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides applied to lawns pose health risks to humans and leach into waterways and gas-powered lawn mowers produce as much as 5% of the nation’s air pollution each year. Native Elements places a high regard across the entire spectrum of building & construction for all of your outdoor spaces, starting from careful design through to our meticulous industry standard & methods. Lawns are great to play on! In the right circumstances, they can be the right choice. Organic home gardening provides the healthiest, earth-friendliest path to delicious produce. We all eat it just makes sense to take advantage of our optimal growing conditions to grow plants that give beauty as well as bounty. Fruit trees, berry bushes, herbs, and fruiting vines delight with spring blossoms, scent, fall color, the element of surprise, and fresh, real food. Edible perennial plants bring year-round rewards to the garden. Why edibles?įood plants flourish here, too! Butte County is one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. They are inherently sustainable and less expensive to maintain than gardens filled with exotic plants and lawns. Native gardens offer a subtle beauty that comes from the interplay of textures, structure, movement, scent, and color. Our region abounds with alluring natives that thrive on low maintenance, require no fertilizers or dangerous pesticides, are drought tolerant, and support beneficial wildlife like butterflies and song birds. The plants that evolved here love our hot, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. I specialize in site-specific landscape architecture and garden design combining native and edible plants with artistic accents. I love to help people create gardens that express their personality while celebrating Butte County’s natural and agricultural heritages. Imagine if a walk through our neighborhoods gave a sense of this unique place. We inhabit some of the best farmland anywhere. Oak woodlands, wildflower meadows, river canyons, and chaparral surround us with extraordinary natural beauty.
