About Danielle Bell
While growing up in rural Wisconsin, Danielle Bell explored the natural world starting in the oak hickory woodland of her parents’ home. Later, working in the green industry and on large-scale restoration projects, she noticed the disconnect humans have with our landscapes, especially in the urban environment. Seeing a need for restoration on small urban properties, she began Native Roots, LLC to help homeowners incorporate native plants into their landscapes. She uses her experience from restoring native wetlands, prairies, and woodlands throughout southeastern Wisconsin to inspire her residential designs. Her passion is to restore sterile turf monocultures to healthy, sustainable, diverse habitats that both people and wildlife can enjoy. As part of helping homeowners create healthy, functional landscapes, she educates them on how to sustainably manage their property through invasive species monitoring and plant identification.
