Promoting the creation of ecological landscapes in our neighborhoods and backyards.


“In the past, we have asked one thing of our gardens: that they be pretty. Now they have to support life, sequester carbon, feed pollinators and manage water.”

— DOUG TALLAMY

Our mission is to educate, inspire, and empower people to cultivate ecological homes and outdoor spaces that support biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and promote environmental justice.

We are working to make the Capital Region an example of healthy landscapes.

We are thrilled to be partnering with a wide range of dedicated volunteers and partner organizations.

What can you do?

We need everyone, no matter your experience or knowledge, to create a healthy, sustainable Capital Region.

“Every square inch of planet earth has ecological significance, even where we live, work, and play. If we landscape these areas with plant function as well as aesthetics in mind, we can create viable habitat where humans are, not just where humans are not..”
