Some of the benefits they provide include improving water quality, supplying food and shelter for wildlife, enhancing air quality, and enriching the visual environment, all of which contribute to people&#8217;s well-being. Additionally, they are easier to maintain since they consist of plants that have evolved to adapt to local conditions. If you&#8217;re interested in having a garden like this, I suggest following these steps to understand them:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the benefits that native-wild gardens provide include improving water quality, supplying food and shelter for wildlife, enhancing air quality, and enriching the visual environment.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>1.- Look beyond, paradigm shift and coexistence.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Let\u2019s rethink our mindset; the wild and ruderal vegetation we often disregard can become a part of our garden.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Say goodbye to traditional concepts of design, manipulation, and irrigation, and embrace an approach that celebrates the richness of plant forms, colors, and textures.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Welcome biodiversity!

Consider the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What is the site like where I will design? Is it shaded or sunny, rocky or fertile, with existing vegetation or not, and is there water present?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How can I associate the vegetation of the new garden with references from the local natural landscape? For example, if there are rocks, what native vegetation grows on them? How is the vegetation arranged in that context?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25548 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landuum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/03_REFERENCIAS-ECOSISTEMICAS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"772\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.landuum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/03_REFERENCIAS-ECOSISTEMICAS.jpg 772w, https:\/\/www.landuum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/03_REFERENCIAS-ECOSISTEMICAS-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.landuum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/03_REFERENCIAS-ECOSISTEMICAS-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.landuum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/03_REFERENCIAS-ECOSISTEMICAS-600x373.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.- Contact a specialized design team.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are dynamic gardens linked to spontaneity in their design and installation, so they will require specific planning. Therefore, you should contact a Landscape Architect or Garden Designer specialized in native and wild themes, as well as have a team of people who understand the natural context of your region to achieve the desired result. A clue to choosing the most suitable one will be knowing if they are truly passionate about the topic, as well as understanding their professional background.
