Our story

After many years in the corporate world, I became truly inspired while working with a landscaper on my front yard. I discovered a passion for the work and a love for the plants. The 2013 drought was another pivotal moment, prompting my decision to follow a new path. Strongly influenced by my weekly hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains, I decided to start a landscape design company focusing on California native plants and sustainability. 

Los Angeles is such a diverse city – a unique blend of dissimilar neighborhoods with rich histories, distinct microclimates and endless potential. These elements bring challenges and inspiration to each project, and I greatly enjoy getting to know each client and each garden throughout the design process. 

Together, we can create a beautiful landscape that will provide an urban green space for you and your neighborhood to enjoy.
