A Sustainable Garden Story: Naturalistic Planting with a Purpose

Join Lisa Negri as she shares the inspiring story behind her eco-friendly garden—a peaceful sanctuary for both people and wildlife—created with the help of a brilliant horticulturist and the support of friends and neighbors. “I’m a retired environmental engineer and tend to take a logical, solution-focused approach to problems. So when the neglected bungalow next door came up for sale, I bought the property. I knew this was the only way to prevent developers from swooping in and putting up a looming, three-story “modern farmhouse” with nearly full lot coverage, a trend that has become all too common in my Denver neighborhood. The crumbling house was unlivable and needed to be demolished, and I knew that carpeting the lot with a traditional lawn was not the right answer. After some time and research, the solution that made the most sense was to build an ecologically friendly garden that would be a sanctuary for both people and wildlife. Here are a few more details about how the idea came together.” Follow us on social media for more garden inspiration: Facebook:   / finegardening   Instagram:   / finegardening   Pinterest:   / finegardening   And make sure to become a Fine Gardening All Access Member for everything you need to know to grow the garden of your dreams, whether that be a perennial garden, cutting flower garden, woodland shade garden, house plant jungle, vegetables or container gardens.
