Plant groupings built around real garden situations — specific conditions, specific purposes. Each collection represents indigenous plants that thrive together in the lower Susquehanna region.
Plants that provide continuous interest from early spring through late fall — bloom, foliage, seed heads, and structure across the full growing season. Something beautiful at every turn of the year.
Plants that thrive where most gardens struggle — under trees, along north-facing walls, in the deep shade of mature canopy. These species have evolved to make the most of dappled light and dry summer soils.
A carefully chosen mix of indigenous wildflowers and grasses that establish quickly, support each other, and create a self-sustaining meadow. Designed for the lower Susquehanna region's specific soils and seasons.
A curated selection of plants that support the full monarch butterfly lifecycle — milkweeds for breeding, nectar-rich wildflowers for migration fuel. Plant these together to create a certified waystation.
Over 400 species of native bees live in our region — and they need diverse pollen and nectar sources throughout the season. These plants are essential hosts and foraging plants for our local bee populations.
Tough, beautiful plants adapted to the feast-and-famine cycle of a rain garden — tolerating temporary flooding after storms, then dry conditions between rains. These species filter runoff and recharge groundwater.
The richest habitat in our region — where forest meets meadow. These plants thrive in the shifting light of the edge, offering season-long interest and supporting an extraordinary diversity of wildlife.
