NORTH Vancouver
home-based entrepre-
neur Darren
Hawkinson is working,
to bring indigenous
nature back to the land-
scape.

He calls his new company
Butterfly Gardens. Hawkinson
is on a mission to reclaiin sub-
urban lawns and get people
excited about plants native to
the coastal eco-sys'

“Fm wishing to bring back
landscapes that are now for-
cign to most people who
don’t even know what is native
to our coastal ecosystem and
what is not. For instance we
have close to 350 plant species

% one can bring into a gar-
den that are native to British
Coijumbia and the surround-

ing Puget. Sound-Pacific
Northwest.”

Hawkinson is also design-
ing gardens to attract specific
types of wildlife:

W@ butterfly gardens;
B hummingbird gardens;
lf song bird gardens.

id Hawkinson, “In busi-
ness you can only provide two
of the threc things that make
or break you — si upply ,, Service
and price. Tn that Taim to
give service and work on giv-

ing a suitable price. fam one
of the first companies in the
Lower Mainland and B.C. as a
whole to provide people with
nature: scaping and theme gar-
don services.”

Hawkinson offers guided
nature hikes and worl cKshops
on how to propagate native
plants.

The nature hikes bringi into
play his training as a mediator.
and “group Process consul-
tant.” Said Hawkinson, “With
these disciplines in mind I or
one of my fellow employees
will have the chance to ‘take
you out and for 60 minutes
teach you about wildlife ‘anid -
for the other 60 minutes
about modern life (such as
how to assert yourself in’ pub-
ic)
