Naturescaping

Naturescaping is the landscape design concept that mimics complex habitats with primarily native plants that are pleasing to humans, wildlife, and all nature beings. By respecting the natural ecological processes in your landscape and providing natural food, water, and shelter sources for wildlife, you can have a low maintenance, satisfying and edible landscape with diversity and interest. Naturescaping improves soil and water quality and promotes ecosystem health.

John is available for naturescaping, tours, workshops and public talks for your community group or gaden club at Tree Frog Farm and provide private consultation for the Pacific northwest landowner.007

 

Pacific Northwest Native Plant Nursery

Tree Frog Farm incorporates a diverse selection of Pacific Northwest native plants to increase biodiverity and ecosystem health to the landscape. Many of these plants have been propagated right here from hand collected seeds and cuttings that are ecotyped to western and eastern Washington regions. From this endeavor, we have established a Pacific Northwest native and medicinal herb nursery for the home gardner and land owner ecological restoration projects. We try to keep a stock of 10-50 items of each species on hand.

Sales are conducted at Tree Frog Farm on Lummi Island, Washington by appointment, or at local plant sales and farmer’s markets throughout the season. Call John at (360) 758-7260 or email him to check on current availability. No mail order for plants, at this time.
