Who We Are

Meet the Team

We ask the tough questions, digging deep to uncover all the little details, quirky habits, and hidden passions that really make them tick!

  • Founder

    For over 20 years, I have designed properties that offer play and rest and beauty, while addressing the practicalities and problems that keep you from truly enjoying your space. I specialize in unexpected, generous and joyful gardens, creatively going beyond solving problems and designing your space around you.

    If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
    Time travel. I’d go back in time and spend more time with my dad. He had the best laugh.

    What’s your go-to karaoke song?
    Enrique Iglesias - Hero. Ask my girls if I slayed it or not.

    If you were a flavor of ice cream, which one would you be?
    Chocolate chip cookie dough.

    If you could swap lives with anyone for a day, who would it be and what would you do? I’d want to go visit Dick Proenneke at his cabin in Alaska. Simply fishing for the day and taking in the peace and quiet of the day.

    If you could time travel to any decade, what would it be and what would you do there?
    I’d go back to the 70s-80s. I loved my childhood years, playing tennis, golf, baseball, hockey. Good times.

  • Design Apprentice

    Current status: Working on her Level 4 Landscape Horticulturist Apprenticeship Program

    If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
    The ability to control time – it would be amazing to slow it down in the really sweet times that you wish could last forever ... and to speed it up to get through the tough times.

    What’s your go-to karaoke song?
    Whitesnake – “Here I Go Again” … it’s been a sort of theme song to my life … plus, who can resist an 80’s hair band?!

    If you were a flavor of ice cream, which one would you be?
    Chapman’s Espresso Flake!

    If you could live in any fictional world, where would you choose and why?
    I would LOVE to live amongst the trees, flowers and rainbows in the magical Land of Oz. The Emerald City seems like the most abundantly beautiful place!

    If you could time travel to any decade, what would it be and what would you do there?
    From a musical standpoint, time travelling to the 1960s would be unbelievable! I would stand up to promote free love, peace, and anti-war freedoms. Wrapping it all up with the Apollo 11 moon landing and Woodstock, of course!

    (Fun fact … I got to celebrate with Buzz Aldrin on his 75th birthday - on a cruise ship in the Western Black Sea)!

    What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten, and would you recommend it?Seal eyeballs. Yes, I would recommend it, if you dare. But you can’t just eat one.

    If you could swap lives with anyone for a day, who would it be and what would you do?
    Swap lives with my wife for a day, so we could both have a better understanding for each other and continue to build on our love.

    If you could live in any fictional world, where would you choose and why?
    I play DnD and have created my own fictional world filled with my own fictional characters. So I would choose that and I would live my characters lives for real.

    If you were to host your own talk show, who would be your first guest?
    First guess would have been Robin Williams, because you never know what you will get with him, so funny. May he RIP.

    If you could time travel to any decade, what would it be and what would you do there?
    I would travel to the decade 2440, just to see how womankind and mankind has progressed.
