Conway Natives will transform and beautify your landscape in an ecologically sensitive manner.

With over 35 years of experience designing and installing gardens and landscapes in Western, MA, Lilian Jackman and the hard working crew of Conway Natives will help you create a beautiful and sustainable landscape. First, we will assess your property together to better understand the soil, sunlight/shade exposure, and existing plants. Do you want lots of color in all seasons, more privacy in your yard, and/or less maintenance, leaving time for other activities? We love to collaborate with our clients to make sure your landscape works well into the future; healthy, vibrant, and beautiful.

We are committed to using a minimum of plastics and petroleum in our work. Using techniques learned on Lilian’s travels in Central America, we are remarkably effective and quiet as we transform a plot of ground, or even your entire yard into vibrant groupings of native plants, creating habitat and food for pollinators and other beneficial insects.

Conway Natives also has a volunteer and apprenticeship program, passing down knowledge of plant cultivation to the next generation of farmers. Contact Lilian for more information.
