Feed your family.Restore your ecosystem.
One plan for your whole property — a permaculture food forest that feeds your family, and a native habitat that brings the pollinators and wildlife back. Laid out around your real sun and shade.
↓ A lawn belongs nowhere. Your yard can belong here.
You shouldn't have to choose between a yard that feeds you and one that gives back.
Food-gardening apps ignore the ecosystem. Native-plant tools ignore your dinner. Bee Come Native plans both into the same property — a productive food forest for your family and a living native habitat for everything else — designed together, so neither one loses.
A garden that only feeds you.
Fruit and veg for the family — often from anywhere but here — and nothing given back to the land.
A habitat that never feeds you.
A beautiful, functioning ecosystem for the pollinators. Lovely — and there's nothing to harvest.
Both — in one plan.
A food forest and a native habitat on the same property, laid out together around your real sun, shade, and space.
You don't need two yards. You need one plan that makes room for both.

Feed your family. Restore your ecosystem.
Once you know your light, you can plan a yard that does two jobs at once — puts real food on your table and brings your local ecosystem back to life.
A food forest that actually feeds you.
Fruit trees, a berry patch, and vegetables — placed where your sun map says they'll thrive.
A native habitat that brings life back.
Region-native plants for the pollinators, birds, and wildlife your area lost.
Plan the space. Grow it through time. Trust it's right.
Design one yard that does two jobs.
Plan the whole system across the seasons and years.
Know both halves are working.
Backed by real ecology, not vibes.
“I typed my address expecting a gimmick and got a rainbow of my actual backyard — then it showed me the shady strip I'd fought for years was never going to grow tomatoes. We grow food on the sunny side now, and the shade's all natives.”
The yard we mapped is the yard we grew.
Everything you see here is our own property in Suffield, Connecticut — the same yard behind the sun map on this page. The food forest, the berry rows, the native beds humming with bumblebees: real, planted by hand, grown over seasons.
We built Bee Come Native because we wanted one plan that fed our family and gave the land back to what belongs here. Now it's yours to use.
The sun map is free — and it's just the ground floor.
The Planner (opening soon) is the paid layer: it places food and native plants onto your sun map, matched to each cell's light, with companion logic and a 10-year shade forecast that warns you before a tree shades a bed. Map your yard free today — you'll be first in line when the Planner opens.
