At Native Vermont Landscaping, we bring decades of experience in installing and caring for all your landscaping needs. We design and install beautiful, biodiverse landscapes centered around native wildflowers, trees, hardy berries, and organic vegetable gardens. Native plant communities increase local biodiversity while lowering long-term maintenance costs. Increased birdsong is a sign of success! Resilient and climate-adapted, these landscapes thrive with minimal water or fertilizer and provide essential habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.Growing and nurturing native plants is a powerful step toward a more sustainable, biodiverse future. No matter the size, every yard or property can set aside space for native plants. Better yet, team up with your neighbors to create a thriving wildlife migration corridor. We’re here to help, offering free consultations and expert advice to make your biodiverse dream property a reality.

​

Adam Gebb is an organic gardener and conservation strategist whose work spans more than three decades at the intersection of wildlife migration, landscape connectivity, community planning, native organic landscapes, and ethno-ecology.In Vermont, Adam played a formative role in advancing science-based conservation at the landscape scale. He served for ten years as Chair of the Marlboro Conservation Commission, where he directed wildlife migration studies across 30,000 acres and helped draft what became one of the state’s strongest ecological zoning ordinances. He later founded Green Mountain Conservancy and expanded wildlife-corridor research across more than 800,000 acres, from the Connecticut River to the Green Mountain National Forest.

 

Through detailed field studies of Vermont’s wildlife and wildlands over 30+ years, Adam developed an applied methodology for blending traditional landscaping with native biodiversity to strengthen ecological resilience. Beginning in 1992, he designed and installed native landscapes, pollinator meadows, organic gardens, and forest gardens on properties ranging from tiny to 200 acres. This long-term, site-based work linked native plantings with wildlife movement patterns and resulted in the documentation of a functional biocorridor within a mixed landscape of towns, farms, and forestlands, demonstrating that landscape connectivity can be achievable in human-dominated landscapes.

 

These Vermont projects laid the technical and conceptual foundation for his later work in the Amazon.

 

Since 2018, Adam has collaborated with the Shuar, Kichwa, Shiwiar, and Sápara nations of Ecuador to help establish a 300-kilometer wildlife migration corridor, one of the last remaining forested pathways connecting the lowland Amazon rainforest to the high Andes. Working with more than 50 Indigenous communities, he has supported the development of territorial land-use plans covering over two million acres of roadless ancient rainforest. In Shuar territory, the project has planted more than 25,000 native fruit and nut trees to create edible rainforest corridors that reconnect fragmented rainforests and strengthen local food systems. This Indigenous-led initiative integrates community planning and ecological restoration to advance biodiversity conservation, food sovereignty, and climate adaptation. aaconserve.org

 

In Vermont or the Amazon, Adam follows the same principles: reconnect landscapes with native plant communities to help maintain resilient ecosystems that sustain agriculture, wildlife, and healthy human communities.

Growing up working with the land, I spent countless hours in our gardens and fields learning firsthand how healthy soil, native plants, and thoughtful stewardship shape resilient landscapes. From planting and tending to observing how wildlife moved through the land, those early experiences shaped how I see outdoor spaces today. When I saw the growing need for thoughtful, sustainable landscaping in Burlington, I stepped up to help meet that need. Native Vermont Landscaping is a way for me to bring together hands-on work, ecological care, and community connection to create landscapes that are beautiful, functional, and deeply rooted in place.
