Climate-Resilient Solutions For Urban Landscapes
Nature-based strategies for sustainable growth
As climate pressures grow, there’s an urgent need to shift our gardening practices! This adaptation means moving away from introduced and exotic species and embracing native plants that support local ecosystems and promote long-term resilience. Halton Gardens offers custom garden design solutions to help homeowners increase their property’s resilience to climate change impacts such as extreme heat and flooding. Our landscaping solutions include thoughtfully curated plant selections, featuring well-priced, locally sourced native species. From design to execution, we create sustainable outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and climate-resilient.

Are You Using Invasive Plants In Your Garden?
They will quietly take over and harm native ecosystems
Are you unknowingly allowing invasive species to grow in your garden? These plants may seem harmless, but often spread beyond your yard, outcompeting natural flora and disrupting local ecosystems. Native wildflowers and grasses can transform your landscape into a beautiful ecosystem that also sequesters carbon and infiltrates water.
