Garden design, installation and maintenance

I am a garden designer of residential and commercial landscapes with an interest in ecological integrity and creating peaceful sanctuaries. The garden is our opportunity to connect with nature in the urban context. I find ways for people to express their unique style and find a connection with the diversity of nature in the city.

I need clients who care about their connection to the environment and want to create a new space or revitalize an existing one.

I have several years experience in horticulture and design, beginning with 10 years of graphic design for a large local nonprofit and I continue to supplement my education with field research trips with botanists and scientists around the world, particularly in Costa Rica and Thailand. I also have a rich store of knowledge and beauty that I tap regularly at the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden in Richmond Beach. http://www.kruckeberg.org/about.htm and in my yoga practice, http://www.samadhi-yoga.com/
