Creating your garden is more than putting plants in the ground. It’s an opportunity to engage and affirm your unique vision and creativity, your authentic self! I work primarily with folks who want to get their hands dirty, but need some support. They are the homeowner who doesn’t want a full landscape extravaganza, but still needs some expertise.

Think of me as your enthusiastic, informed friend here to help you dream and find practical, affordable approaches to realizing your vision. I am happy to work with you on any aesthetic, but my personal style aligns with the New Perennial movement for it’s natural look, lower maintenance and ecological consideration. Some popular examples are the Lurie Garden in Chicago’s Millennium Park and New York’s High Line. I specialize in midwestern native perennials, shrubs and trees.

The first consult package includes a site visit in your garden to talk about your goals, followed by a multi-page document with clear instructions for next steps. Subsequent visits may include planting plans depending on your need.

My nursery dealer’s license and relationship to multiple wholesalers allow me to source the perfect plants for your project. Let’s do this together!

Caveat: Site visits are only done inside I-465
