Nativo Gardens is all about planting local, supporting biodiversity, and growing an inclusive community of gardeners.

Two years ago, Karla Orta-Labrosse was working in a windowless office, dreaming of being outdoors doing what she loved: growing things. She took a chance on her passion and founded Nativo Gardens, a thriving Fort Worth business devoted to native plants and local ecology. In this video, you’ll hear her inspirational story of growth both personally and professionally. She reminds us of the power of believing we can, and pushing aside those fears of being seen and putting ourselves (or our ideas) out there. You are the seed. You plant the roots.
