Thank you for visiting my site. I enjoy bringing you pictures of gardens, plants, and ideas from sunny Southern California.
As a designer, I love using plants to create drama, provide color and form, and compliment the architectural style of any home or business.
I strive to provide a buffer from sun, street, and neighbors while still fostering connections.
As I examine landscapes for my Blog, I am even more aware how important the Design process is in creating a truly wonderful space.
Inspired plant choices and site layout can make any space a success even within a small budget.
I can help you makeover your patio, paths, planting areas, or entire property. I will consult with you, choose a look you love, and compose a plan and plant list to update your landscape as quickly and economically as possible, re-using what you already have wherever we can.

Muhlenbergia rigens Deer Grass

Deer Grass at The Getty Center

Deer Grass is a wonderful California Native ornamental grass for the garden. It has a lovely fountain-like shape, and blonde plumes. It is not too big, nor is it invasive. It looks wonderful massed.
I just designed a planting of 100 of these grasses along a stretch of Glendale Boulevard in Los Angeles as part of a community beautification project. Pictures to come!
