Spicebush Swallowtail
Native Plants and Eco Design
is a NYS licensed, home-based native plant nursery and ecological design studio based in Pittsford, NY. Research shows humans benefit greatly from high quality nature spaces. Why not create one in your yard? Our vision is to create a beautiful, living landscape that will delight with awe and wonder on a daily basis and also support the ecosystem. We believe together, one yard at a time, we can make an impact in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate change.

“What if each American landowner made it a goal to convert half of his or her lawn to productive native plant communities? Even moderate success could collectively restore some semblance of ecosystem function to more than twenty million acres of what is now ecological wasteland. How big is twenty million acres? It’s bigger than the combined areas of the Everglades, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Teton, Canyonlands, Mount Rainier, North Cascades, Badlands, Olympic, Sequoia, Grand Canyon, Denali, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks.”

“Sarah made an extra effort to listen to our ideas and let us participate in the process so we could learn about the principles of ecological design. This is not a passive and static landscape so learning the ins and outs helped us connect to the gardens.”
