Gardener by Nature

Welcome! Gardener by Nature offers landscape consultations for those who want a home environment that sustains wildlife and supports the surrounding ecosystem. I also offer workshops and presentations for both beginning and experienced gardeners as well as those new to the Triangle.

I focus on habitat gardening — emphasizing native plants for their benefit to birds and other wildlife and employing sustainable landscape practices that avoid the use of insecticides and chemical fertilizers.

As a frequent contributor to Triangle Gardener Magazine, I write about native plants and their use in landscaping. In my blog, I share my experiences creating habitats in my own and clients’ gardens. My newsletter offers seasonal tips along with upcoming lectures, plant sales, and other events of interest to gardeners. Click below to learn more about the different services I offer.
