Sustainability • Native-first

Industrial greenhouse principles meet springtime vitality

The Farm focuses on sustainable practices and native plant species to nurture resilient landscapes. Our guides illuminate native applications, water-smart techniques, and energy-conscious greenhouse management for a greener future.

Native-first palettes Water-wise design Soil-building ecosystems Seasonal tips

Soil and composting basics

Build fertile, sustainable beds for native plants using recycled organic matter. Emphasize native soil microbes and minimal disturbance.

  • Layer composting to improve biodiversity
  • Use mulch to conserve moisture
  • Avoid synthetic shortcuts; prefer compost teas

Water-smart irrigation

Design for efficient use with drip lines and rain capture. Native species reduce irrigation needs when well matched to climate.

  • Install soaker hoses under mulch
  • Schedule deep, infrequent watering
  • Capture rain runoff for beds

Native plant selection

Choose species adapted to your region to support local pollinators and biodiversity.

  • Prioritize regionally native perennials
  • Group by sun exposure and moisture
  • Provide seasonal bloom variety

Seasonal guide for beginners

Plan a year-round green space with phased installations and staggered bloom windows.

  • Spring: establish nursery stock
  • Summer: emphasize drought-tolerant natives
  • Fall: plant for overwintering success

Guide: Native Garden Planning

Step-by-step plan to map sun, soil, and water to native species for a resilient landscape.

  • Site assessment
  • Plant layering and microhabitats
  • Maintenance calendar

Quick-start Checklist

  • Inventory existing natives
  • Test soil pH and texture
  • Set irrigation zones
  • Schedule seasonal mulching
