Garden design, consultation and maintenance services

Like many landscape designers, I started in my garden. Back in 2001 it was a pretty desolate, unkempt half-acre plot overgrown with weeds and littered with junk. But it had great bones: three tiers of sizeable terraces at the foot of a North-facing hill flattening out into an open space as big as a field and in full sun. Tons of potential!

Such a location also offers a myriad of microclimates each requiring its own brand
of TLC. I decided I would administer this myself. I didn’t know a thing about gardening so I went back to school after a 10-year career in marketing and public relations
to study plants, horticulture, botany, soil science and the art of landscape design.

Today my garden is many things: a flourishing flower farm, a peaceful resting place, a classroom that inspires learning and an entertaining party space. It’s my sanctuary in the middle of L.A.

I offer a range of services aimed at helping other people tap into their garden’s potential.
