My Garden History
Since 1986 my focus has been to bring the elements of Style that are reminiscent of welcoming places into designs for the garden. Charming English Cottage Gardens evoke that feeling. Whether Country French, Japanese Style Gardens, Craftsman or Modern, all have the potential to create a feeling of home. Designing Kitchen Garden Rooms and incorporating edible fruits and vegetables into existing landscapes is still as popular now as it was in medieval times.
My aim is to work in tune with the environment & reflect clients’ lifestyles & tastes.
Over the years, many wonderful people have joined me in creating and running two
business ventures. One was a garden nursery and the other was a tea room called
The Rose Garden & Courtyard Garden Shop.
Southern Living Magazine, Nashville Magazine, Clarksville Magazine, The Tennessean have written charming articles about them both and PBS Tennessee Crossroads and Nashville Channel Five Talk of the Town televised energetic and fun stories as well. For seven years Clarksville's Leaf Chronicle allowed me the honor of being their Garden Editor.
One of the most exciting honors received early on in my career was awarded to our garden nursery by the American Association of Nurserymen as one of the Top Ten Nurseries in the Southeast for creativity.
