Sweet Fern Landscapes is a women-owned company dedicated to designing and maintaining sustainable gardens that promote and protect the rich biodiversity of Louisiana's ecosystems. Our services include landscape design, installation, consultation, and specialized programs for invasive species control and ecological restoration. We pride ourselves on using active soil fertility practices, avoiding the use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, thus fostering healthy, natural landscapes that thrive over the long term.
As a company that specializes in native plants, we emphasize the importance of pollinators, perennials, and edible plants in creating vibrant gardens that support local wildlife. Our founder and head horticulturist, Jess Cole, brings over 15 years of experience in the landscape industry, enriched by her deep-rooted passion for nature and sustainable practices. Inspired by her childhood experiences in Louisiana's natural settings, Jess is committed to sharing her horticultural expertise through educational talks, community engagement, and articles, including a column in 'Country Roads Magazine'.
Sweet Fern Landscapes is also deeply committed to reforestation and revegetation efforts, helping to restore natural landscapes that have been degraded over time. We believe in empowering our community to develop a stronger connection with nature, demonstrated through initiatives such as The Louisiana Wild Society, a non-profit founded by Jess to foster education and awareness about the natural environment. In her personal time, Jess enjoys gardening, cooking with seasonal produce, and exploring the diverse ecosystems of Louisiana with her family.
At Sweet Fern, we are not just creating landscapes; we are nurturing relationships between people and the environment, ensuring that our approaches are as sustainable as they are beautiful.
