When You Share Open Space Gardens, You Help Multiply the Impact of Native Gardens Across the Twin Cities
Every garden we plant is part of something bigger. One pollinator garden offers beauty, peace, and habitat. But two on the same block? That’s not twice the benefit, it’s ten times the ecological impact! Connected gardens increase biodiversity, support more pollinators and birds, strengthen local ecosystems, and make neighborhoods more resilient. When you refer Open Space Gardens, you’re not just helping a friend — you’re helping nature thrive!
That’s why we created our Referral Program, to make it easier than ever to share your values, support the mission, and be part of something that grows beyond your own backyard.
As a thank-you for sharing our mission, you’ll receive a $50 gift card to a local restaurant when your referral books a project. It’s our way of showing appreciation for helping us grow our impact, and for making your block a little greener and more connected.
And your friend benefits too: they'll receive a free on-site consultation (a $75 value) with one of our experienced garden designers, no strings attached.
One garden makes a difference. Two on the same street can start to build an ecosystem. Let’s grow the movement together, one yard, one referral at a time.
Here’s How the Open Space Gardens Referral Program Works
- Refer a Friend, Neighbor, or Local Organization
Tell someone you know about Open Space Gardens. Whether they’re dreaming of a native plant makeover, bird-friendly gardens, want to replace turf with pollinator-friendly blooms, or are curious about sustainable garden maintenance, make sure they put your name in the contact form or help them fill it out! - They Get a Free Consultation (No Site Visit Fee)
Most of our design consultations are $75, but not for your referrals. As a thank-you for trusting us, your referee will receive a free on-site consultation with one of our expert designers. No obligation, just expert guidance and garden inspiration. - You Get a $50 Gift Card to a Local Restaurant
Once your referral books their project with us, we’ll thank you with a $50 gift card to a neighborhood restaurant you choose from our network. Celebrate your contribution to the community with a night out on us. - You Help Multiply the Movement
Every new native garden connects to others across the Twin Cities, creating critical corridors for pollinators, cleaner water, and more life in every yard. Celebrate knowing your referral helped amplify the ecological impact and grow the network of thriving, resilient landscapes that define our shared home.
Why Referrals Matter So Much to Our Mission
Native gardens aren’t just beautiful, they’re vital. When your neighbor plants one too, the benefits multiply:
- More continuous habitat for pollinators and birds
- Greater stormwater retention and improved soil health
- A block that buzzes with life instead of chemicals
- A community aligned around sustainability and beauty
This isn’t about marketing. It’s about the movement.
According to a study published by the National Audubon Society, birds like chickadees and vireos need at least 70% of the plants in your neighborhood to be native order to successfully nest. Your referral helps build that critical habitat, one yard, one block, one neighborhood at a time.
What Clients Say About Working With Open Space Gardens
We’ve earned many 5-star reviews across the Twin Cities for a reason: our clients trust us to get it right. They value the way we care for their landscape and for them.
Make a Referral Today and Help Grow the Change
Have someone in mind? Use our quick contact form or call the office to tell us who you’d like us to contact. We’ll take it from there and keep you updated once your referral schedules their free consultation.
If your referral fills out the contact form, they should list your name under “How did you hear about us?” They should use the same name that appears on your Open Space account so we know where to send your gift card.
Let’s build habitat, block by block. Together we’re planting the future.
