Currently I work on the North Shore as well as neighbourhoods around False Creek in Vancouver. If you're outside of this general area (South Vancouver, Dundarave, etc) I can still provide garden services for an additional +1/2hr travel rate per visit.

YES! I love talking about gardening and can help support your interest in taking care of the garden. Sometimes it is beneficial for us to be outside together so you can gain a better understanding of the work that I am doing and I can share some of my knowledge. I can also help to provide you with tasks that help maintain your space between my visits.
The world of gardening is incredibly vast, and there are countless ways to approach the design and care of a garden. Through my experience working on farms, in garden centres, and at native plant nurseries, I have developed an approach that considers the surrounding environment with every project. No garden exists separately from its environment, especially as climate change and invasive species become increasingly important considerations in contemporary gardening discussions.
I aim to capture their unique character using native plants wherever possible. Often times native species can provide the same sense of abundance, texture, and seasonality while being better adapted to local conditions and supporting the surrounding ecosystem.
Finally, and maybe the most important point, I believe that no garden should be silent. A healthy garden should buzz with native pollinators, provide food and shelter for local birds, and feel connected to the landscape around it rather than isolated from it. My goal is to create gardens that are both beautiful and ecologically resilient while supporting the biodiversity of the place they inhabit.
