Matrix Planting is the modern way

Matrix planting is a way of gardening in which multiple species are planted in a single space to replicate a natural appearance.

  • Bold drifts of bright native flowers
  • A design that mimics one found naturally
  • A sense of drama and impact
  • Multi-seasonality, overlapping durations
  • Supports natural weed control
  • Less maintenance than traditional gardens.

Rather than neat static rows of plants found in traditional gardens, the naturalistic garden is a more diverse group of plant species with all year interest and although designed, appears unstudied.
