His journey began with an ornamental horticulture education focused on \u201cchemicals, chemicals, chemicals\u2014chemicals on everything,\u201d but shifted after encountering organic methods in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI got much better results, partnering with nature, not putting the chemicals on it,\u201d Garcia says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pivotal realization about pollinators cemented his mission. \u201cHuman beings need to eat to have a future,\u201d Garcia states, \u201cand food only happens because of pollinators\u2014the little things that run the world.\u201d He critiques practices that harm them, recalling ads for genetically modified trees: \u201cBugs eat this, they die. But I realized\u2014it doesn&#8217;t discriminate. It kills the bees, the pollinators, everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now an advocate for permaculture, Garcia believes landscapers have a critical role. \u201cThe true superheroes protect our food security. Pollinators depend on native plants to survive and reproduce. Planting a native garden isn&#8217;t just landscaping\u2014it&#8217;s preservation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He finds clients receptive to both the ecological and practical benefits, especially in drought-prone California. Native plants drastically reduce water use and maintenance costs compared to traditional lawns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garcia also champions efficient technology, like advanced filtration systems for water features, which he studied in Germany. For him, a successful landscape provides a multi-sensory experience. \u201cHow do you soothe the soul?\u201d he asks. \u201cIf you put in plants that attract pollinators&#8230; nothing calms you down more than to have a butterfly land on your shoulder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His holistic view connects landscaping to broader ecosystems, like preventing fertilizer runoff that harms oceans. \u201cFor me, landscaping isn&#8217;t just a job, it&#8217;s a mission,\u201d Garcia concludes. \u201cLandscapers who do it right are the real superheroes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/eljays44\/docs\/pro_landscaper_usa_february_2026\/19\">Read the full interview<\/a> in the latest edition of Pro Landscaper USA.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Garcia, founder of design and build firm Enviroscape LA, has transitioned from a chemical-intensive industry standard to a philosophy of partnering with nature.
