Pollinator planting
Bloom time, flower shape, host plants, and plant groupings are considered so the garden supports more than one season.
Native & pollinator gardens
Austin Native & Pollinator Garden Design
Native planting with structure, seasonal bloom, and room for butterflies, birds, bees, and people.
How Cynthia helps
Native planting works best when it has structure
Native gardens work best when ecology and design meet. Cynthia brings structure, repetition, paths, evergreen anchors, and seasonal bloom to planting that supports local wildlife.
Wildlife-friendly layers
Trees, shrubs, grasses, perennials, seed heads, cover, and water can work together for birds, butterflies, bees, and small wildlife.
Native plant fit
Native does not mean automatic. Plants still need to match sun, shade, drainage, soil, pets, deer pressure, and maintenance.
Designed edges
Paths, borders, stones, and repeated forms keep a naturalistic garden from feeling accidental.
Good fit for
Homeowners who want a clear garden plan
- You want more birds, butterflies, and pollinators in the garden.
- You like native plants but want the yard to feel designed.
- You need help choosing plants for Austin shade, heat, soil, pets, or deer.
- You want a garden that changes through the seasons without becoming a maintenance problem.
