Drosera celebrates urban ecology and native flora through landscape design, restoration projects, floristic inventories and educational programs.

Local botanical communities inspire Drosera’s ecological and sustainable designs.  Our landscapes provide rich biological diversity, habitat for wildlife, a connection to the changing seasons, and underscore a sense of place.  Learn more about nature in your neighborhood through our educational programs on urban ecology, local biodiversity and connecting children to nature.
