Building Biodiversity in Human Spaces
Beautify your outdoor living space. Welcome wildflowers and wildlife.
Restore ecological well-being.
Ecological gardens can thrive anywhere—from residential landscapes to commercial lots, sidewalk strips, meadows, woodlands, and schoolyards. No matter where they grow, these ecological havens invite us to connect with nature, to pause and reflect, and welcome the wildflowers and wildlife on which our ecosystems depend.
The key to making a difference?
Choosing to nurture native plants—the “wise elders” of our ecosystems, who have co-evolved with essential pollinators and wildlife over millennia. This simple choice transforms outdoor spaces into valuable habitats: spaces to find food, water, shelter, and to raise young.
Each enlivened landscape connects to create a mosaic of habitats from which wildflowers, wildlife, and humans can thrive—creating resilient ecosystems that provide the services needed for a functioning planet.
Waxwing is devoted to this work, alongside you. We are a heart-centered business offering three distinct service lines, all geared toward building biodiversity and restoring humans’ innate connection to the land that sustains us.
Together, we rebuild biodiversity, restore our sense of place, and reconnect to ourselves, each other, and other creatures on this planet.

Ecological Gardening
Grow native gardens that provide vital pollinator habitat and enhance the beauty of your outdoor space. Our holistic, full-service approach to ecological gardening includes Design, Site Prep, Installation, and Stewardship. We invite homeowners and property representatives to work alongside us—a unique approach that connects you more deeply to your gardens and their ecological impact.
Ecological Restoration
Build a family legacy. Restore your degraded woodland or meadow acreage to an ecological oasis. Large-scale projects require specialized knowledge and a long-term commitment. Alongside your vision, we facilitate the non-toxic removal of invasive plants, implement strategic native plantings, and coordinate ongoing stewardship of your cherished existing habitat space.
Ecological Education
Build your ecological literacy and native gardening know-how! We regularly offer classes, trainings, and certifications for practitioners, aspiring native gardeners, and habitat advocates of all ages. Educational offerings range from professional development for teachers and landscaping crews to specialized classes or ongoing workshops for K-12 students and the general public.
