North Creek's weekly blog featuring insights on the Landscape Plug™, gardening tips, design ideas, native plants, and garden ecology!
Native plant design is shifting. More landscape professionals are moving beyond flower-heavy borders and using sedges, rushes, and native grasses to create layered, resilient plantings with year-round structure! Join us as we explore the growing role of graminoids in modern landscape design and why matrix planting continues to gain momentum in the industry.
Mulch does a lot for the landscape, but groundcovers can do even more. From weed suppression and erosion control to seasonal interest and habitat, these living layers bring long-term function to planting designs while reducing open soil spaces. Some spread steadily, some stay tidy, and a few quietly solve tough site challenges along the way.
What if the best way to control invasive plants was… dinner? Our latest Space Invaders installment explores edible invasives across the Mid-Atlantic, how they impact ecosystems, and how to remove them one bite at a time!
