Herbalist Garden Design
Let's create your own backyard herbal pharmacy full of carefully curated medicinal plants tailored to your needs. Whether you have an existing space you'd like to transform or want to start from scratch, I can create a space that will help you grow your health sovereignty. Herbalism coaching is also available.
Native Plant Garden Design
Using my specialized knowledge of local native plants, I create resilient gardens that are filled with beauty and biodiversity. Native plants require the least amount of water and maintenance once established, are less prone to pests, are the best way to support local pollinators, and are more adaptable to our changing climate.
A garden maintenance plan is strongly recommended for all new designs
