In Wisconsin, “survival of the fittest” weighs in to plant selection. We encourage the use of plants indigenous to our hardy zone to offer you the following benefits:
Deep root systems provide hardiness during temperature fluctuations
Less watering
Reduce maintenance time
Lower maintenance costs
Encourage diverse ecosystem by providing habitat and food sources for birds, wildlife, insects, butterflies and bees, all helpful pollinators
Beneficial Plants
Attract pollinators to your garden
Fruiting trees, shrubs and berry vines produce high volumes of fruit with minimal care
Vegetables and herbs integrated into raised beds and throughout the landscape
Compost bin and composting systems to reduce landfill waste and create organic fertilizer
Increases independence from outside food sources; save money at the grocery store!
Attract Birds
Grow native food sources
Rain harvesting systems (e.g. rain gardens and rain barrels)
Channeling water runoff to hydrate plants and restore local aquifers.
