I have enjoyed growing native plants and creating native habitat gardens for the last 15 years. For the last 25 years I have also worked as a botanist and restoration specialist on public lands throughout the Western US, mostly in the sagebrush covered hills of southern Idaho. My work as a botanist gave me an appreciation for the wild creatures who depend on native plants. It also taught me about the ecology and growing requirements of native plants.

To better understand what native gardens are and to see more examples, feel free to request this free guide: "Native Garden Guide for Southwestern Idaho". It has all kinds of great design ideas, plants native to this region and even some tips on doing things yourself.  But we would be happy to help you in your process anytime.
