What kind of light does this garden need?

This garden needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is best suited to open, south-facing or west-facing areas with little shade from buildings or large trees.

What shape can the garden be?

Your garden can be any shape you like, as long as it covers approximately 50 ft² (4.6 m²). The design uses a no-dig berm that can be built directly on top of your existing lawn.

How much will the materials cost?

Here is a rough estimate. Plants and materials are not included with the plan.

Plants: $400–$600
Soil: $200–$300
Bark mulch: $100–$200

Estimated total: approximately $1,200

Tip: Arrange to have the soil and mulch delivered as close to the garden area as possible to save time and labour.

Why native plants?

Native plants are well suited to the local climate. Once established, they generally require less maintenance and water while providing valuable food and habitat for local bees, butterflies, birds and other wildlife.
