Natural gardens for a better future.
Now is the time to rethink your yard. Whether it's learning about monarchs and milkweed, volunteering to remove invasive buckthorn shrubs, or being involved in a community rain garden, there's no doubt you've noticed an increased community effort to highlight the benefits of a healthier natural world in our everyday lives. We tend to focus on stories like the plight of the rusty-patched bumblebee, but the truth is, we are just beginning to understand and appreciate the wonderful complexities of the natural world we are a part of. The land that we call home, here in the Twin Cities of Minnesota (Bdóte), is located within the heart of an incredibly diverse and important natural confluence of rivers and biomes, and it is not gone - it is often just a mowed over afterthought in our backyards. We have an incredible opportunity to bring this nature back in a way that will beautify our neighborhoods, help save our pollinators, and change the way we think about the world in our own yard.
Your yard. Our planet.

“My fiancé and I have a smaller city lot where a lack of drainage and the resulting flooding had become an issue. NNG presented us with a practical and creative design that simultaneously solved our flooding issues while creating a usable outdoor space. Better yet, the design required little upkeep while restoring a tiny slice of natural Minnesota wildlife literally in our backyard.”

“They re-vamped our yard last year (a small plot in South Minneapolis), and we are absolutely in love with the design, the plants, and the beautiful environment they created on our little bit of land. Our goal was to have a bit of a north woods escape right in the city, with some privacy grown in, and it's above and beyond what we could have imagined. ”

“We had a large, dry sandy area where nothing but scraggly grass grew. Karl and Katie came out several times to build, plant and maintain a beautiful natural garden. We've only experienced one growing season so far and can't wait to see what the second season brings. They enthusiastically share their knowledge of native plants, techniques and what grows best in our microclimate. We've learned so much and feel confident we can maintain and expand our gardens. We very much enjoyed our experience with them.”
