I am a lifelong naturalist. I have been working in area school gardens for the last 15 years leading students in exploratory lessons in our Outdoor Classrooms. As a science and nature teacher I became passionate about our native plants and our delicate ecosystems. Now my passion for gardening and wildlife has become an obsession and I have started a business as a landscape designer/consultant with a focus on incorporating native plants into our suburban landscapes. I have an ever growing percentage of host plants and natives in my own garden and am excited to share that passion with my community and clients. When I am not gardening I am often outside observing and photographing plants, pollinators and birds.
