Here at Liv's Native Nursery, we don't want you to feel intimidated or overwhelmed by native plants and the work required to implement them in your yard/garden - we are here to help!
In order to start the planning process or to purchase plants*, a consultation is recommended. During your consultation, we will answer any questions you may have regarding native plants, their implementation, what will work best for you and your site, and much more. We can also discuss which of our services you would like to pursue, plant purchasing options, pricing, upkeep, etc.
*Plants cannot be purchased directly on our website. Please reach out to us through the "Contact Us" tab to inquire about plant availability and to place an order.
Planning

After an in-depth consultation, we offer landscape planning services* in which we can collaborate with you and your site to create a working design. This design will include the location of existing vegetation and property features, desired native plantings, and any other components of your landscape that you want to include or add in the future. Once completed, this plan will be used during the plant selection process and will aid in installation.
*It is important to note that the planning process will require either the customer to send photographs of the site or a site visit.

Before & After Projects

As one of our first design projects here at Liv's Native Nursery, we wanted to make sure that the progression of this beautiful native garden in Dundee, MI was documented. This before picture demonstrates the full potential of this underutilized space.

Within just the first year of growth, the garden has filled in tremendously and has shown its true colors. This photo was taken early in the season and shows just a glimpse of what is has yet to become.

This space in Blissfield, MI started as a blank slate with plenty of potential. The goal for the new design was to create a sense of privacy while adding vibrant color and year-round interest. We focused on selecting native plants that bloom in succession throughout the season and attract a wide variety of birds, turning this area into a dynamic, living landscape.

In just the first year, this Blissfield, MI planting exceeded expectations. The native plants established quickly and thrived, thanks in large part to the well-drained sandy soil that fast-tracked their growth. The space is now bursting with color, buzzing with birds, and offers the privacy and seasonal interest we set out to achieve.
