Life in the garden – made memorable

My gardens are comfortable and delightful living spaces in which exceptional plants have equal importance to beautiful hardscape materials and water features. All elements are selected with respect for the setting and our climate and give the garden their individuality.  My special love belongs to naturalistic and romantic, sometimes dramatic and bold gardens created with properly selected plants that thrive with a minimum of water and care and delight us with an all-seasons display of color, texture and shape, be they “Mediterranean” or California Natives, succulents, and perennial grasses.

With a degree in Ornamental Horticulture and Design and more than 10 years in landscape design and gardening in Southern California, I look forward to assisting you in creating a delightful, memorable garden.

After

With the enjoyable and fruitful collaboration of the homeowner, a passionate plant lover and gardener, this “mainly green” lawn- and palm-scape was transformed into a drought tolerant garden that forever excites and enchants with vibrant colors, an exciting variety of textures and beautiful materials.
