About Healthy Home Habitats

Early light comes down the Ashuelot valley slantwise and lands on a Keene yard where the lawn has been quietly giving ground, season by season, to native plants. Healthy Home Habitats designs that transformation — environmental landscape design and habitat plantings that turn a plain yard into what they call a "yarden," a place built for pollinators and birds and for four-season interest and color beneath Monadnock's long shoulder. There is a real satisfaction in the result: a bed that holds its shape through August heat, fruit and seedheads left standing into the cold, a patch of native bloom loud with wings by mid-morning. Through landscape consultation and eco-landscape stewardship mentoring, the craft gets handed across the fence, so the homeowner learns to read their own ground and keep it going.
