About

*** NO LAWN CARE services provided*** Passionate about plants, I’ve been working in the industry since 2008, and started my own business in 2010 in MN. Moved to Florida in 2020, and have continued my gardening journey. Landscape maintenance is my passion, including weeding and planting, as well as pruning shrubs and small trees. My work is very detail oriented, and I love what I do! Perennials, annuals, and garden design. Do you have a plant question? I’m happy to help! References available upon request.
