I am a Landscape Designer, expert researcher, and avid gardener.

My background is in art and design. I have been a gardener all my life. I remember being 8 years old and growing sunflowers and tomatoes from seeds. Sadly the little boy down the street picked all the tomatoes off the vine before they were ripe and beheaded the sunflower; and yes there were tears. That is the life of a gardener: celebration, awe, reverence and letting go.

The garden is a microcosm of life. It has so much to teach us when we take the time to listen to its lessons.
