Practising ecological horticulture and permaculture, all my designs strongly emphasize soil and water stewardship and prioritize the inclusion of native species. They also focus on the creation or preservation of habitats for beneficial wildlife such as birds and pollinators to help turn your garden into an ecosystemUsing my specialized knowledge of climate-resilient, edible, medicinal, native and pollinator-supporting plants to create visually stunning and practical landscapes that offer sustenance and sanctuary for people, wildlife, and the planet.
