Garden Designs

  • Pollinator Buffets (Meadows)

    For sunny open plots either sloped or flat. Sun loving, flowering, native plants that will feed the birds, attract the pollinating insects, and provide homes for the wildlife.

    A mix of herbaceous perennials and grasses relying heavily on tall flowering perennials. Two season interest of your choice.

  • Woodland Sanctuaries (Shade Gardens)

    Got a lot of shade? That’s great, there are so many beautiful, native shade loving plants! Think ferns, moss, trillium, and mushrooms. A quiet, whimsical and peaceful type of garden with diversity ranging from delicate Appalachian ephemerals to large flowering shrubs.

  • Food Gardens

    Helping you plan your organic vegetables and fruit gardens, where to establish you rows or beds, what size, raised beds or in ground, when to grow and what to grow. Native food plants and traditional annual vegetables( Ex. tomatoes & broccoli and persimmons& pawpaws ).

  • Rain Gardens

    Do you have a low place on your property that has sitting water when it rains? Not a problem, this is a great opportunity to establish a garden with plants that enjoy having their “feet” wet for periods of time. Think rocks, sedges and shrubs.

  • From Scratch Gardens

    This type of design is for those who have perhaps a new build and/or a blank slate. Perhaps you have mostly sod and you want to convert it into garden beds. Or maybe you have an neglected landscape and your not sure what to do with it or where to start? This would begin as a consultation and could develop into a design.

    I can help determine where new plant beds should be and what kind of garden would be best for the different microecological climates of the property.

  • The cottage garden with wildlife resorts

    Usually a part sun bed with a great diversity and charm. Flowering Shrubs, perennials, annuals, ephemerals, moss, rocks and more. intentional and tactful habitats using resources readily available and usually free. Such as bug snugs, bird and insect water access, dead hedges, hueglekultures, wildlife stacks,etc.

Designs are a collaboration between the designer and the land owner. Expertise combined with the personalization of who the garden is being designed for.
