tân'si askî î isinâķwa - how the land looks

In addition to our backyard nursery, Bloomsday has a small team that offers ecological consulting and land assessment for broad acre sites and restoration projects striving to create resilient, climate adapted landscapes, combat climate change and promote native biodiversity. Our work goes beyond regenerative landscapes; it's about honoring the cultural significance and nuanced relationship our communities hold with kitaskînaw (our land).  Native plants are more than ecological assets. They are connections to our cultural heritage and tools for regenerative living.  Commitment to kitaskînaw is grounded in the reciprocity and respect Indigenous communities hold for the askî (land). Our consultation approach is boots on the ground and truth based , creating ecological assessments that are tailored to your specific landscape.

Though we specialize in the ecoregions of the PNW and Willamette Valley, we are connected to the Bison dominated grasslands of central Canada (Metis, Cree, Stoney and Blackfoot) , the pine savannah of eastern Washington (Cayuse, Umatilla, Spokane, Nez Perce, Coeur d’Alene ) , the coastal islands of the Salish Sea (Lhaq'temish, W̱SÁNEĆ, Lekwungen, Quw'utsun, Samish), the and deciduous forests of Delaware (Lenape) and the vineyards of Napa Valley (Miwok, Wappo) these connections to place allow us to provide knowledgeable services beyond our eco-region and we are honored to share it with you. Led by traditional ecological knowledge, academic training, a love for native plants and a mission rooted in relationship to land and building resilience in our communities, we are the land.

*Note that we do not offer residential / urban landscape design services for landscapes under .5 acres. Nor do we offer installation for projects we consult on.
