Pete (l) leading a seminar on planting native plants.
Your yard can be a wildlife habitat while being beautiful, dynamic and low maintenance. Peter Harrington of Native Landscaping and Consulting LLC is Columbus' premiere landscaping expert of building landscapes that attract wildlife to your yard and garden, while providing year-round beauty and very low maintenance. Peter's 20+ years of experience and expertise in native plantings, shrubs and trees are what you need to have the best landscape while consuming very little resources including your time. Peter's landscapes require little extra watering once established, minimal pruning and weeding and yet provide beauty and pleasure throughout every season.
Peter specializes in using plants that are native to the mid-west and since these plants naturally grow here, they do not require a lot of intervention from people to thrive. Birds, bees and butterflies are more likely to find shelter and food in your yard and garden with native plants that have not and won't be treated with harmful chemicals.
Invasive species of plants are those that will overtake native plants and dominate a landscape. They are detrimental to the environment and the wildlife that seeks refuge and food. Peter is an expert at identifying these plants, removing them efficiently using minimal chemicals, and then replacing with plants that will thrive and provide beauty, food and shelter.
"Dynamic" and "Evolving" are two words that describe the installations that Peter has done. The natural landscape changes over time and yours can, too, all by selecting the right plants for the right space and the under the right conditions. Peter's deep knowledge of the plants of the mid-west is the key to getting exactly what you want in your outdoor living space. Many of the plants that Peter uses have been hand-grown by him under exacting standards to assure that the plants are genetically diverse, healthy and disease-free, vibrant and sustainable.
Always researching and learning, as well as teaching, Peter is an educator to those that want to learn more about Ohio's native plants that sustained our prairies and natural places. He is a member of the American Chestnut Foundation, and Ohio Natural Areas & Preserves Association, a consulting member of Wild Ones Columbus and former board member. His personal landscape is an official Green Spot of Columbus and is currently on track to be a certified wildlife habitat with The National Wildlife Foundation.

Common invasive species include honeysuckle, multiflora rose, and garlic mustard. Just these three species can and will shut out all other plants, eventually to the point that you won't even see or hear birds anymore. Removing the invasive species allows native plants to return or be planted while providing much higher nutritional value as well as shelter. |
