Feeling inspired looking at the Aster cordifolius blooming in the garden now. It is really one of my favorite plants. It grows in shade and in dry to average soils. Really brightens up dark areas in the garden. The deep root system helps with erosion control and it is loved by bees and other pollinators. Deer resistant as well.🥇. #nativeplants #astercordifolius #shadegarden #nativeplantlandscapedesign #pollinators
In love with this Fall garden combination. All natives to Virginia. #asters #goldenrods #littlebluestem #newyorkironweed

This is a front yard native plant garden that we designed last year. The client is installing this planting by themselves in stages. They started the planting this spring and the garden is already starting to look full and colorful. It is also attracting some fun visitors 🦋 #fallschurchcity #plantasnativas #plantasnativas #nativeplants #eastcoast #usa #gardendesigner #landscapedesigner #dc #fallschurch #summergarden #conservation #sustainableliving #sustainablelandscaping #waterwisegardening #pollinators #bees #butterflies #summergarden #slopegardening #erosioncontrol #grasses #Nativeplantlandscapedesign #npld #fallschurchva #fairfaxcounty #gardeningforbirds #gardeningforwildlife
The front yard slope looking marvelous. So many bees, birds and butterflies. Really fun. There is 0 erosion on this slope. Every plant species you see in these pictures is a native. You don’t need to be a designer to have a beautiful planting bed of natives. Go and get some, plant them and let them do their job. Happy 4th of July to all! #plantasnativas #plantasnativas #nativeplants #eastcoast #usa #gardendesigner #landscapedesigner #dc #fallschurch #summergarden #conservation #sustainableliving #sustainablelandscaping #waterwisegardening #pollinators #bees #butterflies #summergarden #slopegardening #erosioncontrol #grasses #Nativeplantlandscapedesign #npld #fallschurchva #fairfaxcounty #gardeningforbirds #gardeningforwildlife
Yellow Sunday.
#Silphium really beautiful plant. Butterflies and goldfinches love it. But a bit too aggressive.

😍Asclepias purpuracens. Not an easy plant to get, but oh boy, what a beauty. Native to Va! #asclepiaspurpurascens #fairfax,va #conservationlandscape #landscapedesign #nativeplants
Yesterday building the berms at the Lorton project. This was a really fun design since the client wanted something different and that would reflect their love for art. The spirals are based on the Golden Ratio. Part of having the mounds is also to elevate the planting and give them some privacy from an access road. Hundreds of native plants will populate these spirals and hopefully lots of pollinators as well. Very grateful for all the help I am getting in translating this design to reality. Stay tuned. Will be posting more pics in the next few days. #goldenratio #design #goldenproportions #misteriesofnature #1.6180339887 #nativeplants #nativeplantlandscapedesign #lortonva #landscapedesign
