Beauty. Ecology. Resilience.
Natural garden design that enhances beauty, supports nature, and reduces maintenance
At In Our Nature, we specialize in natural garden design that works with nature instead of against it. With our thoughtful blend of artistic expression and ecological principles, your garden can become easier to care for, richer in life, and more beautiful through every season. A more rewarding and fulfilling gardening experience awaits.
Our Founding Principle
In Our Nature was founded on a simple belief: our gardens should not be separate from nature. When they are, we lose daily connection with the natural world — and with it, our motivation to protect the natural world. Modern horticulture often reinforces this disconnect, replacing living ecosystems with high-maintenance, low-biodiversity landscapes.
Your garden can help restore that connection — bringing conservation, biodiversity, and natural beauty back into everyday spaces such as front yards, backyards, school grounds, and community landscapes.
Your garden should work with nature - not against it.
Our Approach
We design gardens as living ecosystems.
By using dense, layered planting inspired by natural plant communities, we create landscapes that:
Suppress weeds naturally
Support pollinators and wildlife
Reduce long-term maintenance
Offer year-round interest & ecological value
Show resilience in the face of a changing world
Every garden is designed specifically for your site, your growing conditions, your goals, and local ecology.
