Founded in 2018 by Natalia Manrique and Mauricio Gonzalez, NaMa Native Landscapes exists to redefine landscaping in South Florida.

We design landscapes that belong here.  

At a time when traditional landscape practices deplete water resources, rely on high-maintenance plant palettes, and disconnect people from nature, NaMa offers a different path — one rooted in Florida’s native ecosystems, artistic composition, and ecological responsibility.
​
Our work blends horticultural expertise, arboriculture knowledge, and a fine arts sensibility to create outdoor spaces that are immersive, functional, and alive. Each project is an opportunity to transform lawns into layered plant communities, replace invasive hedges with habitat, and reimagine residential and commercial landscapes as thriving ecosystems.

We believe small, intentional changes in the landscape can create lasting environmental impact. Through native plant design, we support biodiversity, strengthen pollinator networks, reduce water consumption, and protect South Florida’s fragile ecological systems.
