The Natural Garden

Designing and Building Living Landscapes in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley and the Piedmont

 

Make your Home a Habitat

Ecological landscape design— Living Landscapes— means working primarily with native plants to feed the pollinators and the greater food web. We add edible, herbal, and medicinal plants to nourish both human and wild inhabitants, while our old-world stonework visually anchors the garden with timeless beauty.

Whether you want a DIY native plant starter garden, a complete landscape design, a new meadow, an outdoor living space such as a patio, or to restore your stream, meadow, or woodland, The Natural Garden is the Shenandoah Valley’s source for Living Landscapes.

 

Plant Sales

We offer regionally native plants grown in our nursery that bring in butterflies, native bees, and other beneficial insects.

GardensWe design and build contemplative outdoor retreats with old-world stonework and living landscapes to benefit your soul and native pollinators all at once.
