Custom Garden Design

Every garden begins with a seed—an idea, a feeling, a dream. Together, we’ll nurture that spark into something rooted, radiant, and deeply personal. This is a collaborative process, where your story, your style, and your way of living guide every decision we make.

Whether you’re envisioning a cozy urban nook, a vibrant patchwork of blooms, a productive kitchen garden, or a serene spot to simply breathe, I’ll walk beside you as we shape that dream into something tangible.

My process is grounded, creative, and heart-led. We start by walking your space (virtually or in person), dreaming out loud, and tuning into the possibilities. From there, I craft a custom plan that blends beauty with purpose—layering in the plants, textures, and seasonal rhythms that will bring your vision to life. You’ll be supported with clear guidance, intuitive planning, and soulful design that honors both the land and your lifestyle.

With a love for both plants and thoughtful design, I take a personalized, heart-led approach—tuning into your rhythms, your space, and your goals. Every garden I help shape is as unique as the hands that tend it.

If you’re already working with a landscape designer, I’m happy to collaborate—layering in softscape elements, helping select plants and materials, and ensuring the design flows with grace and intention. My promise is to listen deeply, honor your vision, and make the process feel grounded, joyful, and beautifully aligned.

Let’s bring your garden dreams to life—rooted in intention, guided by beauty, and sustained with love.

Our Design Process

Designing your garden is more than just picking plants—it’s a soulful, grounded collaboration that honors both beauty and function. Whether we’re designing a space to gather, grow, or simply breathe a little deeper, I’m here to guide you each step of the way. Here’s what the journey looks like:

Rooted in creativity. Grown with heart.

  • Every garden begins with a conversation. We’ll hop on the phone or zoom for a free 15 minute consultation—whatever feels easiest for you. I’ll ask thoughtful questions about your vision, your space, and your lifestyle. From how you hope to use the space to the colors and textures you’re drawn to, this is where the dreaming begins.

  • If you’re in my service area, I’ll come walk your space with you. I pay close attention to light patterns, soil health, drainage, existing plants, and how the space feels. You’ll see me sketching, note-taking, and tuning in to the story your garden wants to tell. If you’re out of town, we can do this virtually with detailed site photos, videos, and a layout survey form I’ll guide you through.

  • Back at my studio, I’ll craft a bespoke garden design that reflects both your dreams and your space’s unique character. Depending on your needs, this might include:

    • Scaled planting plans

    • Concept sketches or moodboards

    • Raised bed layouts or edible garden zones

    • Notes on spatial flow, seasonal interest, and design intent

    Everything is tailored and rooted in real-life growing conditions—so it’s not just pretty, but practical.

  • I’ll build you a curated list of plants, herbs, flowers, and natural materials chosen for your climate, soil, sun exposure, and design goals. You’ll receive:

    • A detailed plant list tailored to your design

    • Notes on care, seasonality, and companion planting

    • Suggestions for mulch, stone, trellises, containers, or other elements to bring texture and function

  • If you’re installing with a landscaper, I can act as your garden’s advocate—offering plant sourcing, walkthroughs, and designer-to-contractor communication. Want to DIY or phase it in over time? I’ll help break things down into doable steps and guide you through the process.

  • Your garden is a living thing—and I’m here for it as it grows. I offer seasonal coaching packages, planting refresh plans, and personalized care guidance so you can keep the beauty blooming year after year. Whether it’s when to prune the lavender or how to succession plant your veggies, you don’t have to go it alone.
