Design Consulting and Workshops

For the past 50 years, I’ve been lucky enough to do what I love most—designing, building, and creating gardens that bring people closer to nature. From cozy backyard spaces to sprawling estate landscapes, every project has been a chance to blend creativity, horticultural know-how, and a little dirt under the fingernails.

Over the years, I’ve learned that great gardens don’t just happen—they grow from a mix of good design, solid systems, and smart maintenance practices. And I enjoy sharing those lessons with others. Whether you’re dreaming of a new outdoor space or just want to understand your own garden a little better, I can help you make it thrive.

If you lead a company or organization, consider offering your team a unique perk—an on-site or online garden workshop. Gardening has an amazing way of reducing stress, sparking creativity, and building community. Together, we can design a fun and meaningful session that fits your team’s interests and space.

Take a look through the gallery below to see some of the gardens I’ve helped grow over the years. Each one tells a story of learning, laughter, and a love of getting a little dirty.
