I am a lifelong gardener and nature lover that has always enjoyed sharing my passion for plants and gardening with others. I have worked in the horticulture field for nearly 25 years from garden centers and golf courses to public and private gardens. I am currently the horticulturist and volunteer manager at Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens in Washington DC where I maintain an organic cutting garden, supervise the greenhouse, and manage the horticulture volunteer program. At home in suburban Maryland, I am feverishly maximizing my own garden’s ecological potential, a three-quarter acre, partially wooded lot with a small babbling stream.

Sometimes all a project needs is a good brainstorming session. We can tour your garden, discuss strengths and weaknesses, talk about plants and maintenance, and answer any questions you may have.
Each project is different. A quick sketch and a scribbled list of plants is great for some. Others require a fully developed master plan. All design work is customizable to fit the needs of each project.
Offering sourcing, delivery, and arranging of native plants in the garden for do-it-yourself clients or I can help you coordinate installation and discuss sustainable maintenance strategies with your existing landscape contractor.
Presentations on sustainable gardening are available. Please contact me for details.
A consultation and garden tour is a great way to begin maximizing the ecological potential of your landscape.
