Why Natives?

Native plants are the foundation of a healthy ecosystem—they support local wildlife, require less water and maintenance, and naturally adapt to the environment. Whether it's restoring balance to an outdoor space, reducing the need for chemical inputs, or enhancing biodiversity, our approach is rooted in respect for the land. Choosing natives isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about cultivating a connection between people and place, ensuring that your landscape flourishes for years to come.

Meet the Owner, Designer, and Plant-Lover

For nearly a decade, I’ve been maintaining, designing, and installing sustainable spaces throughout the city of Charleston, SC. But my love for plants started long before that— I grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina exploring the Pisgah National Forest and developing a deep appreciation for the landscapes around me. That connection to nature led me up into the Blue Ridge Mountains to Appalachian State University, where I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Recreation Management.

Through my work, I’ve combined my background with a hands-on approach to sustainable landscaping. With Creative Natives, my goal is to design and restore spaces that are not only beautiful but also ecologically beneficial, helping nature thrive in the places we call home.
