Introduction: I've been designing gardens in the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly 20 years, so I have a very good feel for designs from modern to traditional, from xeriscape to Japanese and cottage gardens. Having written two books on garden design and having served as senior editor of the past three editions of the Sunset Western Garden Book, I feel that my knowledge of plants is extensive - although there are too many great plants out there for anyone to say they know them all! I love plants and truly enjoy working out ways for people to be in their gardens comfortably.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge an hourly rate for design-only projects. If I manage the installation itself, we can work out an arrangement that suits all parties.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet with the client to see their outdoor space and run through a list of questions designed to tell me know they'd like to use their space. Ornamental only? Play space for kids? Edible garden? California natives? Drought and deer tolerant? We can make it work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was awarded a Certificate of Ornamental Horticulture through a two-year program at Strybing Arboretum in Golden Gate Park - but the real education has been doing the work for two decades.
