The National Monarch Dome
You can make a great environmental impact with Your landscaping decisions!
The tragic situation of the Monarch butterfly emphasizes why planting an ecology garden is one of the most important and impactful things you can do. After hundreds of thousands of years of fulfilling their remarkable annual migration, the population has collapsed by over 90% in just the last few decades- due to habitat loss, climate change, and harmful pesticide / herbicide use. Many less well-known / less monitored pollinator species are in similar or worse condition.
You can help hundreds of species with designs like this that are as beautiful as they are ecologically beneficial:
We design ecology gardens for
common, everyday people
Kavanah Conservation understands how much homeowners value their yard space, and the desire to make any landscaped areas look beautiful, low maintenance, and weed-free. Our mission is to help you take a small space (~5-10 foot diameter) and turn it into a super-charged garden that is as attractive as it is ecologically beneficial; and we have done the field testing to establish a list of flowers and shrubs that will take the guess-work out of doing so. If planted and cared for properly in the first year, the results are extremely rapid and lasting- the ecology gardens you see here are photos taken just 1-3 months after planting, and the flowers are hardy perennials that will come back year after year!
We can all help Mother Nature by utilizing a small portion of our landscape with the National Monarch Dome flower selections and a handful of additional flowers that provides everything hundreds of additional species need to survive, thrive, and raise their young. With enough participation from home and business owners, we can create an inter-connected network of support-pillar ecology gardens and reverse the perilous situation human activity has put them in.
Excellent reasons for planting an ecology garden in your home or business landscape:
-
You want to help wildlife for all the reasons mentioned above, and love the idea of standing up for wildlife that cannot stand up for themselves without our help
-
The joy and serenity of watching Nature in action, in your own yard
-
You have an area of your landscape where weeds constantly take root- planting an ecology garden with the close-packed method utilized in our designs will help prevent these annoying weeds. This also helps avoid the use of chemical weed-killers that can harm and kill our pollinators and birds
-
These designs are meant to be little to no maintenance- the selected flora are hardy native / native cultivar perennials that should need no additional care after their roots are established in the first year. Simply allow them to decompose naturally every Fall/Winter and they will come back year after year!
-
You have an area in your landscape that stays consistently moist (sump-pump drainage area or any spot where water flows to and collects)- you can convert it from a swampy mess to a beautiful thriving ecosystem with select ecologically beneficial flora that love such conditions.
-
You will be rewarded with the unmistakable happiness we can hear in the songbirds and see in the pollinators as they fulfill their purpose in life and work tirelessly to help our crops and flowers thrive. Here is a small sample of the plethora of beautiful pollinators and wildlife that you are likely to see visiting- your garden will help provide what they need to survive, thrive, and raise their children to be happy and healthy too!
