Hi! My name is Jim Natale.

     

   I started WilderGardensLLC in 2023. For six years I landscaped for award-winning companies in Watch Hill and on Fishers Island. I also served homeowners, restaurants and businesses.  

---

   My goal in creating this company is to establish a regional native plant garden community, exposing the people to the beauty of our natural world and promoting the stewardship of our natural areas for the benefit of wildlife and mankind.

--- 

   My services will provide season long color in the landscape and wildlife viewing opportunities as we bring back the habitat that wildlife depends on. We don't use invasive plants, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. 

​

   I bring my passionate love for nature to your gardens and landscapes. I'm a naturalist first and foremost and my goal with every property I set foot on is to bring the true beauty of the natural world to your front yard. I share my knowledge freely. Visit the information page to learn more.
