Garden design & consulting

A background in classical art and a love of land, plants, and natural systems guide my design approach. My favorite gardens are immersive and often combine classic geometry with the softness of thoughtful, diverse planting. Every garden uniquely reflects its place, its time, and its caretakers.

Design process

Creating a garden is a conversation, and the length and depth of the endeavor can vary. I offer one-time inspiration visits and planting design for specific areas such as a perennial, pollinator, kitchen, or cutting gardens. I also offer whole-property design from concept to oversight of the installation.

Ongoing Garden Consulting

Design and installation is only the beginning. Gardens are dynamic by nature, and every garden requires ongoing edits and a continued design eye as it matures. I offer ongoing consultation for installed gardens and plantings and am often known to show up in work clothes with secateurs and a spade.
