Gardener in Seattle, Washington

Hello! I'm Ben, a professional horticulturalist based in Seattle, Washington, and owner of Bird Berry Fine Gardening. I am relatively new to the field of horticulture, but am no stranger to plants and plant care. Prior to establishing Bird Berry in 2023, I spent over a decade in the environmental field as a Wildlife Biologist. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Environmental Horticulture. With my education and background I strive to bring a science-based, ecologically-focused approach to everything I do in the garden. Whether you need assistance with general plant care, designing a stunning new native or pollinator garden, or even installing a rain garden to help manage stormwater, I've got you covered. My expertise also extends to the art of fine pruning (I love few things more than restoring beautiful form to a neglected Japanese Maple). Additionally, I specialize in organic weed control to keep your garden looking pristine year-round without the use of harsh pesticides. My rates are affordable at $50 hourly, and I guarantee professional and efficient service. If you're interested in nurturing a healthy garden that is in harmony with nature, please reach out! I'm eager to bring my unique expertise to your yard and help you build the garden of your dreams. Let's work together to make your garden flourish!
