Our Story
Started in 2013 as a GreenTec Nursery, Paddle Creek Gardens has its roots in propagating and supplying native plants. We have transitioned away from nursery stock since 2023, focusing more on providing information and services to promote a new approach to landscape design.
As humanity develops more land and take up more space, it’s becoming even more important to ensure our gardens are providing ecological function in addition to aesthetics. Our mission at Paddle Creek Gardens is to ensure that the potential to support life is realized in every garden, and it’s our passion to provide gardeners, landscapers and property owners – Professionals and amateurs alike – with the tools and resources they need to bring their landscapes to life.
Our Nature-Driven Design methodology clarifies our ideas, redefining landscape design with an ecology-first, practical approach to designing, planting and maintaining landscapes.
