Why Buy Natives

Residential landscapes are often filled with plants that grow well but offer little else to the surrounding environment.

Native Plants offer leaves as food, nectar for sugar and pollen for complex proteins. Seeds, nuts and acorns can provide a meal for birds and larger animals. A well balanced diet for our wildlife will help our local populations become more resilient as the climate changes.

    We would highly recommend Grounded Solutions! Amanda came to our home and did an On-Site hand drawn design. It was perfect for what we wanted to accomplish. We wanted a guide on how to slowly transition our space into a more Florida Friendly landscape, using as many Florida native species as possible. We wanted to do the work in phases and be hands on in the process. This is why Amanda’s on site hand drawn option was perfect for us.

    Amanda is clearly passionate and knowledgeable in her field. She walked the yard with us listening to our goals and vision. She shared her knowledge to guide us to what was possible and suggested options we had not even considered. When she was finished with the drawing... which is lovely on its own, we had a good plan to get started. We had names of plant species, best placement, where to shop and what to expect. We learned a lot!

    So far our we are pleased with the results and will continue to work the plan outlined by Amanda. I highly recommend Amanda with Grounded Solutions. You will not regret it and you will be making your yard and the ecosystem beautiful and balanced!
