About Sustainable Gardens

Native plants have evolved along with the insects and pollinators that provide sustenance for the endemic fauna and wildlife of their region. In this context, all plants are not equal: native species are far more important in their ability to support wildlife and the biodiverse ecosystems on which we depend. This website will teach you about native plants and their exceptional value and beauty in the landscape.

 

A Little About Kim.

Kim Frisbie writes about sustainable native plantings in South Florida’s landscape. She has a BA in English with a minor in Horticulture from Smith College and an MS in Ornamental Horticulture from the Longwood Program at the University of Delaware. She published her first articles for Horticulture Magazine in the late 70’s and had a gardening column in several Philadelphia papers for 12 years. After moving to Palm Beach, she saw the island creating monocultures using the same alien species with little concern for sustainable ecosystems.
