Great plants + great designs = successful, exciting projects.
Some favorites of my own:
A Life in Plants & Design
I have been in love with plants & design my entire life, & have been immersed in both, decade after decade, as life & careers have led me from Pennsylvania, Maryland, & Washington, DC, to Manhattan, New England, Key West &, now, Minneapolis.
My responsibilities for landscape & garden design stay constant across climates, topographies, & geographies:
Bring better functionality & cost-effective durability to properties.
Bring greater enjoyment, ease, & even excitement to owners’ experiences of their properties.
