my style...
Informal, unscripted, organic and free-flowing
Gardens should add to the landscape, not dominate it
Full and lush border gardens with a distinct edge between the garden and the lawn
An edge provides just enough structure so the garden does not look chaotic
A garden should not be hard to maintain. With proper planting and mulching, weeds are kept to a minimum
Resourceful…use what you have, divide existing plants for new (free!) plants
Be patient…your plants and gardens will grow with time…some things are best left unhurried
my services...
The Simple Consult: Need some suggestions but plan to do the work yourself? No problem! I am happy to advise on existing plant/weed removal, new plant selection/placement, as well as, plant relocation. You will be amazed with what you can do with what you might already have!
What the…?: Perhaps you just moved into your home (and yard) and don’t know what is what. I can help you isolate the good stuff from the bad.
Feeling overgrown/overwhelmed: Your garden might just need a good pruning to help keep it in check…a good pruning will also keep your plants healthy, lush and beautiful.
Design and Implement: Not happy with your current gardens or lack thereof? Show me what you like and what you don’t like. Based on my experience, I will make some recommendations. Together we will outline a plan and I will get to work!
Garden Maintenance: My job does not stop there! With your permission, I want to visit your gardens regularly! As your plants mature, many can be divided and placed in new gardens or simply spread out for a full, lush garden. This is my passion! Gardens that explode with new colors and textures as the seasons change…never quite knowing what is going to pop up next!
