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.

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!
