Bio
Everything about landscape design is a source of happiness for me ... I am quite consistent at discovering genuinely creative solutions to design challenges. I am deeply gratified by the innumerable opportunities to effectively address environmental concerns. I live for the ongoing learning that keeps this ÔworkÕ fresh and new. Do I have all the answers? Does anyone have all the answers? Absolutely not, but when I donÕt, I know where to find them and who can help, thanks to my continuously expanding network of experienced landscape professionals who are genuinely committed to environmental best practices that also make financial good sense. Of course, I am so grateful to my terrific clients who - in a different universe - I would be paying for the privilege and enjoyment of creating beauty in their outdoor spaces! Lucky me.
... and I have an abundance of local references!
