Weeding & Garden Maintenance
Pulling weeds is not everyone’s favorite thing to do, but I find it peaceful and relaxing. After years of practice, I am fast and efficient. I also enjoy all other garden maintenance tasks including transplanting, mulching, organic disease control and natural pest reduction. I can tune up your garden to take better care of itself with natural planning.
Custom Garden Design & Makeovers
Not sure how you want your garden to look or even what plants to place where? Perhaps you’re interested in a specialty bed that attracts butterflies and songbirds? Or a children’s garden; like a playhouse composed of Sunflower walls and Morning Glories for the ceiling? Using ecologically sound methods that are people, pet, wildlife and earth friendly as well as tricks to best utilize your space for weed and pest control (organic gardening) I am happy to help. Butterfly gardens and songbird habitat beds are a way to experience deep ecology, whether your space is in the forest, the suburbs or an oasis of habitat in the city.
Edible Gardens
Early last century everyone was planting Victory Gardens, growing vegetables, herbs and fruits at home. Today, more and more people want to grow their own food. Farmer’s markets and farm stands are everywhere, but you can not get fresher produce than in your own backyard. With rising concerns about pesticides and saving money, it makes sense to do it yourself. If you don’t have the time or lack information, call me and I will do it for you. Organic pest control and disease reduction information and applications available as well. (I’ll also gift you with my personal favorite recipes for garden fresh Pesto, Ratatouille, and Gazpacho!)
Weddings & Special Events
Whether it’s an alternative ceremony or a classic one, more and more people are saving money with a backyard wedding. I can design and install a tropical paradise in your backyard to ensure you a lovely setting for your special day. I am also available to return and pot the annual plants up post-ceremony for your guests to take home, and keep as houseplants as a living reminder of your beautiful wedding day.
