About Us
Little Bird Landcrafting is founded on the principal of creating spaces to allow native habitats to thrive. Our goal is to build and maintain beautiful gardens that inspires you to enjoy the nature that surrounds us.
We create garden corridors for nature. These corridors are networks which allow nature to pass through human activity. Corridors are essential for local flora and fauna to thrive within our ecosystem.
​
​
We don't use any toxic products. We only use organic methods derived from preindustrial gardening practices. Practices such as companion planting, disrupting the natural life cycles of pests, and recycling plant debris for Hugelkulturs.

Emma Voegelin
Founder/Owner
Emma founded Little Bird in 2004. After years of working in the landscaping industry, she saw the need for a new kind of "landcrafting" company. Little Bird practices organic stewardship to the land that has placed in our care. Our belief is to harmoniously integrate native and curated landscapes. Emma's last name Voegelin, translates from German to "Little Bird" inspiring the name of our company. This represents our passion to create and maintain spaces for birds and other tiny creatures.
