Gardens

I specialize in small-scale projects that are primarily “working around what we’ve got“ scenarios. I focus on replanting more water-wise, native and pollinator-friendly options and encourage mulching to build healthy soil. I can help you get off the ground and get your garden moving in the right direction.

Yard Facelift

Do you have an area you want to replant but want to be strategic because of factors like, pets, children, small space or small budget? Sometimes you just need a project consultant/organizer who can set you on the right track, knows how to choose plants for your area and where to get them.

Raised Bed/Container Gardens

Growing your own food can be a huge cost-saver and give you tastier produce. No matter what space you are working with, we can get creative to find ways to grow herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Maybe you already grow food in your backyard but feel like you need a re-fresher or overhaul, or would like to learn how to compost? It’s never too late to update your garden and skills.

Lawn Conversions

Don’t have much of a green thumb? Staring out at that dying lawn in the front yard? Need to cut back on water use and maintenance? I can help you convert your lawn to a native plant oasis. Not only will the area use less water but you can help our local pollinator species thrive. Who doesn’t want a bump in curb appeal and style points from your neighbors!
