What is PRFCT?
We’re redefining what it means to be perfect in the garden. To be PRFCT is to work with (not against) nature toward an ideal that’s toxic-free, biodiverse, and beautiful. We are no longer trying to control nature into an outdated idea of perfection that has been pruned, mowed, and sprayed into submission. Instead, we envision gardens that are vibrant ecosystems, teeming with native plants and humming with wildlife. In other words, PRFCT.
What is Nature-Based?
“Nature-based” means working with nature, not against it. It is about simple practices (i.e., growing native plants, avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers), not products. How does that actually work? Well, how does nature work?
For millions of years, plants have evolved along with wildlife to thrive in the places they were born, creating extensive food webs and symbiotic relationships. They did this without irrigation, synthetic fertilizers, mulch or pruning. In other words, they did just fine without us.
Our modern landscapes have drastically upended this elegant natural system. Residential and recreational landscapes are filled with non-native plants, which are sculpted into strict geometric shapes that rely on fossil fuel-powered equipment, chemicals, irrigation, and pruning to meet an ideal that is more like the inside of a house than the outside. That’s not natural. What is?
