Gardener in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hello! I'm a home gardener who got my start with an empty window box and a shoulder shrug, about 15 years ago. I ended up earning a neighborhood award for my designs! Since then I've worked on farms, restored ailing street trees back to health, and planted out some local businesses with low-maintenance, drought-resistant designs. In my own garden in Northwest Philly, I love making meadow-like landscaping, creating lush, layered spaces by planting a mix of seasonal, local, and perennial plants, and using low-growing herbs and succulents to push back weeds naturally, without a ton of chemicals needed. Happy to just take over and fix your space, and/or make a seasonal plan and let you take it from there. Its surprising the results that just a few hours of work can bring!
