Mariposa Naturescapes
assists homeowners, businesses, and local governments in restoring their
landscapes with Pacific NW Native Plants. Native plants help minimize water use &
maintenance, improve wildlife habitat, and increase natural ecosystem functioning.
Currently, our main services, as a Washington State Specialty Contractor, are
Seattle-area native plant landscape design and installation. In addition, we
offer mostly Western Washington native plants for sale, by appointment, at our small
affordably-priced retail nursery in West Seattle.
For more information, please see our brochure.
Why Native Plants?
- Native plants are beautiful and provide year-round interest
and diversity in foliage, flowers, fruit, and fragrance.
- Native plants are naturally adapted to our local climate,
which allows them to fend off pests and diseases; use less water; need less
maintenance; and offer beneficial habitat to native birds, butterflies, & other
wildlife.
A well-designed native plant landscape can increase property
value and function by insulating your home/business from harsh weather; reducing urban
noise, storm water runoff, and invasive plants; and filtering the air.
- Native plants provide a place-based, natural setting —
right outside our door— inspiring better understanding, appreciation, and
protection of our local flora & fauna for an ecologically sustainable future for
all beings.
