We asked two landscape design firms, Larry Weaner Design in Glenside, Pennsylvania and Exteriorscapes in Seattle, that specialize in sustainable landscapes to create plans for a basic backyard. They came through with two excellent designs that include innovative plant combinations and features you can use to jumpstart your own garden design.
Exteriorscapes Plan Edible landscaping is a major theme of this plan, which features grapes, espaliered fruit trees, and space for vegetables. Plus, a creative dog run that gives dogs a place to call home in the landscape. Download the plans here!
Larry Weaner Design Associates Plan Native American plants that attract birds and beneficial insects are the cornerstone of this sustainable garden, which also contains several water conservation features, including rain barrels and a rain garden. Download the plans and planting list here.
