Welcome Gardeners!
For almost a decade I’ve been creating native gardens for folks along the Jersey Shore. Now, in order to better serve more people, I am evolving my offerings towards educational DIY materials.
Coming soon will be my book that gives all my knowledge to you in an easy to follow guide that reveals my secrets to a budget-friendly, long-thriving, beneficial garden. As I finish edits, follow my blog posts to see excerpts from the book.
And Reader’s Resources page for info that will be continually updated, so won’t be printed in the book.
I will also have a kid’s book with fun activities to help them become young naturalists. Check out this page for some activities.

about us
Becky Hope
has enjoyed many years of work in the fields of ecology, horticulture, and art. Her most cherished experiences were planting natives, observing Osprey, and maintaining trails at Cheesequake State Park as a seasonal project coordinator, and learning by doing as a volunteer at her local community garden. She thanks her mother for long walks naming flowers they passed and for revealing the mysteries of how to create beautiful art; and her father for teaching her to not fear but appreciate insects and encourage scientific curiosity. Becky currently volunteers to manage invasive species and protect natives at a local park, and runs a local native plant swap group online that is certified by Home Grown National Park. She enthusiastically and voraciously reads and researches anything nature related to keep learning how to best to help restore our landscapes.
