Fairy Yardmother Landscape Design

Thank you for visiting my site. I enjoy bringing you pictures of gardens, plants, and ideas from sunny California. I love sharing after-photos that show how my landscape plans, plant lists and layouts come to life.
As a designer, I use plants to create drama, provide color and form, and compliment the architectural style of your home.
I strive to provide a buffer from sun, street, and neighbors while still fostering connections.
Inspired plant choices and site layout can make any space a success.
I am a Certified Watershed Wise Professional, with techniques to improve soil health and keep more water on your property.
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, re-using what you already have wherever we can.
Each project is different because it is about making your space really shine.

Field Trip: Rolling Greens Part Two

More pretty things from Rolling Greens!

I love hanging things -- baskets, bromeliads, lights. When hanging something decorative, you are able to use space that is often not otherwise accessible. It is an opportunity for the eye to look up, to supplement the view from a window where planting is not an option. To fill out the space under a tree's canopy, or string lights across a patio and change your experience of the space. Here are some nice ideas for hanging elements and great containers:


Glass planters for tiny plants, like succulents
Lovely metal basket
Epiphytes on chains





Love the Shapes
