I can help make your Texas native plant garden a reality!
Choosing the right native plants can transform your yard into a haven for pollinators and birds. It can look beautiful too! You don’t have to sacrifice beauty to create a sustainable, drought-tolerant yard that wildlife love.
I specialize in small-scale design projects. If you have an existing garden area or landscape bed that you would like to transform with Texas native plants, I can help!
Let me help you create a yard that not only looks good, it does good!
Do you look at your yard and not know where to start when it comes to making improvements?
Have you spent spend hundreds of dollars on plants that eventually die?
Do you get tired of spending time and money maintaining your yard?
I’ll help you prioritize your garden goals and coach you along the way!
I can help you pick hard-to-kill Texas native plants that thrive in your ecoregion. I focus on easy-to-maintain, drought-tolerant perennials for your garden. Plant once and enjoy them for many years to come!
As part of my design service, I provide simple to follow maintenance advice to ensure long-term success of your garden.
