“When I see beauty it connects me to the unseen and the unspoken of the universe. Nature’s beauty reminds me to experience peace and gratitude, to forget the troubles of the world.

The avenues of joy from a garden are endless. I feel it’s my gift to create beautiful and sacred places for my clients – to commune and restore, to read a book, or pick a bouquet that nurtures their own souls and those around them.

Every project is personal to me, and I get to know the people who come into my life. My greatest pleasure is discovering what a client wants by listening to their dreams and their deepest desires. Maybe it’s a memory of their grandmother’s garden, a special feeling they had on a hike, or a simple wish to pick an apple from their own tree. Tapping in to that mystery and serving as the hands behind their minds and hearts is so important and satisfying to me.

In every garden I encounter, no matter the style or scale of the project, I imagine its growth and becoming, the affect of seasons over time, and its way of revealing to us the circle of life. Creating a garden is my opportunity to see heaven on earth, and sharing that with others is a lifelong joy.”
