I prepare plant designs for gardeners in Southwestern Montana using native plants.

Landscaping using predominantly native plants is one of the very best ways an individual can significantly help restore our environment. My designs incorporate plants that grow in Montana as well as southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba; western North and South Dakota, and Nebraska; and eastern Wyoming and Colorado. My designs are based on the ecology of each area and take full advantage of native plant landscaping -- saving water and saving money on plants since perennial native plants don't have to be replaced every year; supporting native wildlife such as birds and butterflies; and requiring much less maintenance.

Our dogwood is hanging onto its leaves late this fall, even after a couple wet snows, providing, with the aspens, some lovely autumn color for the yard.

The yellowjackets in our crab apple have closed up shop for the winter. Tap the picture to see their full shop, no longer maintained.

Only their fertilized (mated) young queens will survive our Montana winter. They hide in protected spots like tree stumps, hollow logs, leaf litter, soil cavities, or man-made structures such as attics and wall voids. All their workers and males -- the worker wasps, drones (males), and the old founding queen die off with the first freezing temperatures (a week or so ago.)

Next spring or early summer, , the fertilized and hibernating queen will wake up and look for a nest site (such as an underground rodent burrow, tree stump, or wall void). And start the cycle again.

A finch and a red wing blackbird discussing the merits of migration in a heavy first snow in our back yard.

Bashed to Unabashed ... our huge goldenrod behind our big corner rock was smashed as flat as a door mat by our first heavy wet snow. Five days later and a little sun, and it was as proudly erect as before the storm. Resilient!

10/27/2026

A reminder of the incredible resilience of native plants. Our wild roses and rabbit brush were still fully leafed out when the first heavy wet snow hit and crushed them nearly to the ground. When the sun came out again a few days later, they rebounded totally upright. Lost very few limbs.

10/26/2026

Our wild rose bushes and rabbit brush got absolutely crushed by 8 inches of heavy wet snow. Within three days of the warm up afterwards, they were back upright and you'd never know anything happened to them. Tough native plants!

Our dogwood leaves toughed out a heavy first snow and are still clinging to the stems, giving off radiant fall color.

Allium seed head, wearing a jaunty snow cap, adding a little "visual interest" to the otherwise white landscape. Our allium took 3 years to really "gain traction" but they are robust and lovely in the parking strip in direct sun now.

We just love the rich autumn color of the low-grow sumac we used on a big stretch of the parking strip. It took it a few years to fully establish, but when I was out there a few days ago, it said, "Hey, I got this. You can transplant all the iris that were here when I arrived!😃

Our dogwood leaves bending under wet autumn snow but still "flashing" lovely color.
