Follow along as we build Wildscape Muse

Get ready to cultivate a new way to garden! Here at WildscapeMuse, we’ve been diligently nurturing a digital ecosystem designed to empower you in creating beautiful and sustainable native plant gardens. Our focus begins right here in Western Washington, but like the seeds we plant, we have big dreams to grow and spread our roots far and wide!

As we approach the end of June 2025, we’re bursting with excitement to give you a sneak peek at the key features you can expect in our upcoming beta release. We’ve prepared a special video tour to showcase what’s been blooming behind the scenes. Take a moment to immerse yourself in the visual journey of WildscapeMuse’s development:

A Glimpse into the WildscapeMuse Garden

Let’s take a stroll through the virtual paths of WildscapeMuse and explore the features we’re cultivating for you:

Local Nursery Marketplace: Bringing Native Plants to Your Doorstep

Imagine having the power to connect directly with local nurseries, right at your fingertips. Our Local Nursery Marketplace is designed to do just that! We’re bridging the gap between passionate gardeners and the local businesses that nurture our native flora.

With real-time inventory availability, you’ll be able to find the perfect native plants to bring your garden dreams to life. No more fruitless trips or calls to multiple nurseries – WildscapeMuse puts the information you need right in the palm of your hand. By supporting local businesses, you’re not just building your garden; you’re helping to grow our local economy and strengthen our community’s connection to native plants.

Intelligent Garden Design Tool: Your Personal Garden Architect

We believe that planning your native plant oasis should be as enjoyable as watching it bloom. That’s why we’ve developed an intuitive garden design tool that makes the process both fun and informative.

One of the standout features is our 70/30 native plant ratio calculator. This handy tool helps you create a balanced and thriving ecosystem right in your backyard. It guides you in maintaining a healthy proportion of native plants, ensuring your garden not only looks beautiful but also supports local wildlife and contributes to the overall ecological health of our region.

Coming Soon: A Vibrant Community of Gardeners

While plants are at the heart of what we do, we know that the real magic happens when gardeners connect. That’s why we’re hard at work building a vibrant community forum. This space will allow you to:

  • Share your latest plant finds and gardening triumphs
  • Swap tips and tricks with fellow native plant enthusiasts
  • Showcase the beauty of your native plant gardens
  • Exchange plants and seeds with local gardeners
  • Seek advice and support from a community that shares your passion

This forum will be more than just a place to talk about plants – it will be a living, growing repository of local gardening wisdom, tailored specifically to our unique Western Washington climate and ecosystems.

The Seeds of Future Features

While we’re thrilled about the features we’re launching with, this is just the beginning. We have a whole seed bank of ideas waiting to sprout in future updates. We’re committed to growing WildscapeMuse into the ultimate tool for native plant gardening, and your feedback will be crucial in shaping our path forward.

A Brief Pause to Nurture Our Roots

As we prepare for this exciting launch, I’ll be taking a short break over the next couple of weeks. This time will allow me to recharge and celebrate a special family occasion. But don’t worry – I’ll be back on June 10th, refreshed and ready for the final push towards our beta release at the end of June 2025!

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your enthusiasm and support have been the sunshine and water that have helped WildscapeMuse grow from a tiny seed of an idea into what it is becoming. We can’t wait to welcome you into the full WildscapeMuse community soon!

Stay Wild and Keep Growing!
