Welcome to the Heritage Garden Journal

What is a Louisiana native plant heritage garden? A Louisiana native plant heritage garden replaces traditional modern landscaping — grass lawns, imported shrubs, costly irrigation — with plants native to Louisiana's prairies, bayous, and wetlands. These plants are drought-tolerant, regenerative, wildlife-supporting, and deeply rooted in the cultural landscape of Cajun Southwest Louisiana. Explore our full Heritage Garden collection to see the native species we grow and ship.

Why replace your lawn with native Louisiana plants? Traditional lawns are costly to maintain, non-regenerative, and ecologically barren. Native Louisiana prairie plants — including native grasses, coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, blazing star, and dozens of bayou-edge species — require less water, support pollinators, and restore the natural heritage of the land. Browse our Native Louisiana Food Forest collection for edible and ecological natives.

What is the Heritage Garden Journal? This is a real-time documentary of one Louisiana family removing their front lawn and replacing it with an authentic Cajun prairie heritage garden. We document every plant, every season, and every lesson — and we'll share seeds, plans, and plant profiles so you can do the same. Ready to start your own? Our Heritage Garden Starter Kit and Custom Heritage Garden Plan are the perfect place to begin. You can also browse individual native Louisiana plants or book a Heritage Garden Consultation for personalized guidance.

Laissez les bons temps rouler — let the good land grow.
