Introduction
My goal is to create a design that fits your lifestyle, so I spend time getting to know you and your preferences. If you have a busy life, I focus on low maintenance plants. If you like to entertain, I will incorporate enough room so that your guests can enjoy your landscape too. If you have children, I take their outdoor activities into account. You and your family are the most important part of the design process! In terms of design, I love creating a space that others will enjoy and use. In terms on maintenance work, I love improving a space and making it more beautiful and comfortable. Overall, I just love being able to work outside! Sitting behind a computer for hours and hours isn't for me!

Linda helped me view my yard as more than just grass. I consulted with her about my plans for a garden, and her knowledge of edible plants and organic practices astounded me. She also asked a lot of questions about my lifestyle (what I like to eat, how much time do I want to actually spend maintaining the garden, etc), and I appreciated her care in designing a garden tailored to me. Later in the season some of my veggies were experiencing a blight. Overwhelmed with trying to figure out the problem online, I sent Linda a couple photos and she helped me diagnose the problem and offered solutions. I really appreciated that she was there to help long after the official consultation was over. Using Linda's services saved me time, money and a whole lot of guess work. Linda is hard working and knowledgeable, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for your gardening needs.

Linda gave me a consultation when I had no idea what to do with my flower beds. She took into account how much time I had to devote to maintenance, and all sorts of other factors which I never would have considered, making sure that her recommendations would fit my needs and lifestyle.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Yes! Although continuing education it isn't required in my field, I consider myself a life long student because I love to learn. In the spring of 2015, I will complete an associates in Landscape Design. I am also enrolled in a Sustainable Landscape Design certificate program through Phipps Conservatory. I will most likely continue to take classes throughout my career.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Psychology, I spent 10 years working a desk job. I love to spend time outside, and it's hard for me to sit still for very long, so working in offices was really miserable! One summer, I took on extra work at a local greenhouse, and I loved it. I overheard two customers discussing Penn State's Master Gardener Program, and it sounded really interesting so I applied and was accepted. After finishing my training through Penn State, I realized I wanted to turn my hobby into a career, so I began taking college level horticulture classes. From there, I realized that landscape design really suited me, because it allows me to be creative, interact with clients, and, most importantly, spend time outdoors!

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    A client hired me to improve the curb appeal of his home. Initially, the job involved weeding and pruning, but as I got to know the client and his wife, I recommended mulching and planting flowers. The transformation was amazing, and I felt like they really appreciated my help.
