Through regenerative garden practices, I strive to create not just beautiful gardens but gardens that are productive, flourishing with biodiversity and low maintenance. By using organic, sustainable methods, I garden in a way that respects Mother Nature. That means using organic fertilizers, avoiding pesticides and rebuilding the soil to create thriving ecosystems. My garden designs are full of native, Florida-friendly and pollinator friendly plants.

Edible Garden Design
Between our torrential downpours, heat and humidity, Florida’s unique climate can make edible gardening challenging and overwhelming. Our mild winters and hot summers make our planting seasons different from most of the country. Having an edible garden such as a kitchen garden not only helps create food security but it also gives you the freshest, most nutrient dense food around. With my knowledge and years of trial and error, I can remove the confusion and help you create the edible garden of your dreams.
Creating urban ECOSYSTEMS
With Florida’s unique ecosystems disappearing at alarming rates, there is so much that one can do in their own landscape, no matter how big or small, that can help our local ecosystems. Your home can support a vast amount of biodiversity simply by making sure that your landscape contains mostly native plants. I specialize in Florida friendly landscapes and other ecological garden designs such as native plants, pollinator gardens and wildlife habitats.
