Our Guiding Philosphy
We have the power to profoundly influence our landscapes. Through ecologically based design and organic land care practices, that influence can be restorative—for the land, for wildlife, for our communities, and for ourselves.
Every restorative land care project is unique, shaped by the goals of the property and its people, but the values that guide our work remain constant. New England Pollinator Gardens is rooted in the principles of health, ecology, fairness, and care, as defined by the Northeast Organic Farming Association’s Organic Land Care Program.
The Principle of Health | We sustain and enhance the health of soil, plants, animals, people, and the planet.
The Principle of Ecology | We emulate and support living ecological systems and natural cycles.
The Principle of Fairness | We build relationships grounded in shared values and responsible stewardship of our shared world.
The Principle of Care | We foster the well-being of current and future generations and the environment.
These principles guide our everyday practices, including:
A commitment to avoid pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and unnecessary inputs.
Support for stormwater management, invasive species removal, and planting diverse, neonicotinoid-free native species—with a focus on keystone plants that enhance local biodiversity.
Cultivating hyperlocal supply chains, partnering with small businesses that share our dedication to restoring New England landscapes.
We are honored to partner with you on this restorative land care journey.
We design and create native habitat.
We help homeowners and businesses transform their outdoor spaces into beautiful, thriving, and sustainable living landscapes. Guided by creativity and ecology, we design unique landscapes that are as purposeful as they are beautiful. Each project is an opportunity to not only bring ideas to life but to innovate, problem solve and restore our connection with nature.
