We will schedule a 1-hour in-person consultation. During this time we will walk your property alongside you to answer any questions you may have, share simple design suggestions, and teach maintenance best practices. Should you seek further coaching, we are happy to coordinate ongoing check-ins.

Consulting & Coaching

We will meet with you to assess your current landscape, aspirations, and priorities/timeline. From there, we will draw design plans that include a plant list and recommended materials. If you wish to execute upon the designs yourself, we can help you navigate sourcing, etc. If you prefer to have a professional landsaper conduct the install, we will connect you with a partner we know and trust.

Trained by the New York Botanical Garden, we will strategically prune your shrubs to give them new life! Professional pruning involves making precise cuts to direct future plant growth and to ensure more abundant blooms and lively greenery.

Artful Pruning

Education drives meaningful change. My workshops bring a welcoming energy to inspire sustainable landscapes and ecological practices. We’ll explore ways to create gardens that support biodiversity, conserve resources, and bring us closer to nature.

Native Gardens

We're passionate about preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of New Jersey. That's why we specialize in creating stunning native gardens that not only captivate the eye but also nurture and support our local wildlife. By choosing native species, gardens become so much more than a beautiful display - they’re a living, breathing sanctuary for biodiversity.
