Two Thoughtful Ways to Design Your Garden

Nature Inspired Designs

Every garden I design is rooted in ecology, beauty, and long-term success. Whether you’re looking for a streamlined design using proven plant combinations or a fully bespoke, collaborative process, I offer two design paths to meet you where you are.

Signature Garden-Ready Designs

Signature Garden Ready Designs use professionally curated plant palettes and layouts to create cohesive, beautiful gardens—more quickly and at a lower cost than a fully custom design.

 

Ideal if you’re looking for:
• A professionally designed garden with a faster turnaround
• Clear, up-front pricing and plant budget 
• A simplified decision-making process
• A cohesive design built from time-tested plant combinations

​

Design timeline:
2–3 weeks

​​

What's Included:

• On-site consultation before design begins 

• Site measurement using 3D scanning technology (Polycam) 

• See before you build - 2D plans and 3D renderings allow you to fully envision the design

• Climate Smart Design - California Native and Mediterranean plant palettes suited to thrive for SoCal

• Up-front pricing for design and plant sourcing
• Up-front plant cost estimate, including plant size and d quantities
• One round of fit adjustments
• Designer available by phone and email
• Referrals to trusted landscape contractors and installers

​​

Choose from four signature design styles:
• Signature Butterfly Garden
• Signature California-Adapted Garden
• Signature Mediterranean Garden

​​

How this works:
Signature Garden Ready Designs are created using carefully curated plant palettes and layouts that are adapted to your site measurements and conditions. This approach allows for a faster, more efficient process while still delivering a garden that feels intentional, balanced, and uniquely yours.
