Before & After: Heather is Restoring the Landscape with native plants

before and after natural garden

Heather, over at Restoring the Landscape is not one of those all talk, no action people.  Her website covers a wide range of topics around restoring landscapes with native plants, creating wildlife habitats, birds, insects, biodiversity, and invasive species.

Heather herself rectnly restored the landscape around her own home in Minnesota. And when I say restored, I am not talking about fixing up the garden, I’m talking about taking the garden right back to nature.

What was a rather boring and even a little bleak (if you ask me) suburban home, was transformed into a native wildlife and plant haven with the beauty of untouched natural woods.

Is it a garden? 

Sure, I think so, absolutely. 

It is certainly an interesting twist on garden development. It takes the idea of garden making to an extreme of nature re-creation.  I’m curious what you think though. Would you restore the landscape around your home back to what it was before the home was built?

A visit to Restoring the Landscape has lots of additional pictures of this project.

Thanks Louise for sending this!
