1 Designing with Natives by, Scott M. Drucker, Dream Gardens Landscape Design & Installation
2
3 Why Natives? The Positives! Preaching to the Choir Best Adapted to their location drought tolerant Low Maintenance less pruning, mowing Host Plants and Food for Wildlife Birds, Bees, Butterflies, etc Many are very attractive to purists and non-purists alike Sustainable / Green don t need chemicals-fertilizers
4
5 Designing is like Painting You have a palette of Trees, Shrubs and plants to work with Natives Use a more Limited Palette Evergreens in a Temperate Garden provide the structure Natives.Very few native evergreens for our area Paintings need lots of color Natives sometimes have short lived seasons of color Bottom Line. Designing with natives is more challenging!
6 The Negatives Can be Messy Looking Blooms are frequently short lived Some are Ephemeral Eaten - up by Insects and Animals Very Specific Cultural Requirements Very Few are Evergreen Varying Philosophies as to what is truly Native
7 Short Lived Color! Too Busy!
8 Too Barren!
9 Design by numbers / no plan or design
10
11 Haphazard Planting SW Natives
12 Better Design SW Natives Scale Massing Heirarchy - Textures
13 The 6 S s Design Guideline Structure mostly with conifers / broad leaf evergreens Selection natives for every use (Specimens, Screens, Foundations) Simple One of everything bodes badly for design and wildlife Sequencing Planting to maximize bloom time, texture and shape Shrink plant to eventually shrink down the lawn size Sweeps and Swaths drifts / masses give continuity and abundance
14 Great Native Design is Difficult to Achieve but Do-able 1) Less Plants Overall than traditional design to Choose From 2) Much Less Structural Evergreen Trees and Shrubs for Structure 3) Very little historic precedent available as a guide 4) Drastic differences in plants and style from one region to the next
15 Hot/ Warm Color (Contracts) Color Theory Cold/Cool (Expands) Complementary Borrowed Monochromatic
16 Spider Wart and Coreopsis / Blue Yellow Combo - Summer
17 Celedine Poppy and Virginia Bluebell Blue Yellow Combo / Spring
18 Borrowed Color
19 Native Color Color Great in Early Spring and in the Fall Not so much in between Color in Blooms Color in Stems Color in Berries / Fruit Color in Leaves

32 Informal Design (Most Popular with Natives!) Planting in a naturalistic manner mimic nature Preference for grouping or drifts rather than repetition Preference for curved or windy shaped areas rather than geometrically defined spaces or straight lines Mixture of all manners of plants from evergreen to deciduous

35 Pond or Bog
36 Understory
37 Woodland
38 Sunny Seating
39 Urban Rain Garden
40 Urban Allee
41 Formal - Semi Formal Design with Natives ( Less common but worth trying!) Intentional Use of Symmetry Repetition of elements including plants/shrubs/trees Rigid geometry created by defines edges Intentional creation of a Sense of Enclosure Use of Topiary, Espalier and other pruning techniques to create desired shapes or specimens Creation of Vistas ending in Focal Points Intentional Framing of a View with plants or manmade materials
42 Non- Native Formality Redo Substitute Leyands with Hemlocks Substitute Limelights with Annebelles Substitute Boxwoods with Inkberry Holly
43 Boxwoods Inkberry Holly
44 Hydrangea arborescens Hydrangea arborescens Annebelle
