It's Your Nature...

Go Native!

Why should you landscape or re-landscape with Texas Native and wildlife friendly adapted Plants?
I can help you choose, design, and obtain a wide variety of species tailored to your desires and adapted for each specific situation.

Why & Which Natives?

Picture

Less Water, Chemicals & Maintenance

Save money and hassle by avoiding pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers & big water bills
Picture

Deer and Pest Resistance

Believe it or not, there ARE plants that deer and other grazers won't eat! And tricks that actually work to keep them off your plants!
Picture

Attract and Sustain Wildlife

Butterflies, Bees, Birds and other Beasts need our help, and native plants are their lifeline!
Picture
They don’t freeze! Virtually all native plants survived the big freezer for 2021!
Less than 2% of original Texas landscapes remain. With those losses, much of our natural as well as cultural heritage has been lost. But you can improve or restore or your landscaping, yard, or ranch property with native trees, shrubs, ground covers, and flowering plants that are attractive to both you and wildlife! I can come to your place for a consult and work with you to come up with a plan suited to your location, conditions, or homeowner association. Have a shady spot where you want some color? Have a problem with deer? Want to replace of water hungry, high maintenance, or garden-dominating shrubs or annuals? Or maybe you already know which plants you want, but FINDING healthy, high quality, and reasonably priced native plants seems impossible? I can help! Check out my Gallery of Native Plants, then contact me at 310-487-3353 or email me at avitropic@sbcglobal.net to order plants or schedule a consult, or both.
