My love of gardens began at age 4 when my grandmother used to take me around the backyard to smell the petunias and watch the moon flowers unfold. These magical moments are gratefully embedded into my being. Being a fine artist my whole life, it was seamless to go from canvas and paint to ‘painting with flowers.’ The outdoor space that surrounds your home can be so much more than a grassy lawn with a fence or a trendy DG pincushion of randomly placed agave. YOUR garden should be filled with the colors, textures, flowers and foliage that truly ring your bell and reflect your lifestyle. It is my mission to design you your dream garden - a place to entertain, unwind, relax and just be.
