Mariposa Gardening & Design Cooperative

Mariposa Gardening & Design is an award-winning ecological design-build landscaping company. We design, install, and maintain gardens using Permaculture methods. Our gardens build songbird, butterfly, and pollinator habitat using California natives, pollinator-friendly plants and dry-stacked stone work. We conserve water with our innovative approach to replicating natural systems.  Our strong commitment to incorporating beauty with innovative and ecologically-minded designs guides the way we work with stone, plants, wood and water.
