North Creek's weekly blog featuring insights on the Landscape Plug™, gardening tips, design ideas, native plants, and garden ecology!
Plants have their own schedules, and understanding them can make all the difference in a planting! There's more to plant selection than bloom time alone. Learn why understanding a plant's life cycle matters when designing for the long haul in this week's blog!
Native plants play an important role in supporting wildlife, but ecological landscaping involves more than a percentage on a plant list. Site conditions, plant diversity, invasiveness, habitat, maintenance, and even cultivar selection can all be part of the conversation. In our latest blog, we take a closer look at native and non-native plants, what makes a landscape ecologically thoughtful, and why there may not be one answer that fits every site.
What makes a plant truly suited for a tough site? It’s more than being labeled “tough.” Root systems, drought response, growth habit, and tolerance of challenging soils all play a role. We take a closer look at what to consider when choosing plants for difficult sites.
