2025 in review
Together in 2025, we planted 640 plants—mostly native species carefully chosen to support and enhance the beauty and biodiversity of our gardens—along with 610 bulbs now resting underground, patiently waiting to welcome us into spring and early summer. Each planting felt like a small act of optimism, adding up to gardens that will continue to grow, change, and support life well beyond this season.
I’m deeply grateful to all of my clients for trusting me with their gardens. Thank you for allowing me to keep doing work that I truly love. After all, how lucky am I to spend my summers outside, planting gardens that support birds and butterflies while also creating beautiful and peaceful places for people to be? 🌸 🦋 🌱🙏
What We Grew Together in 2025
Growing Into 2026 🌱
I’m excited to share that I’ll be hiring some help this year, which will open space for approximately seven new bi-weekly garden clients. If you know someone who might be interested, please feel free to spread the word.
In the meantime, I’ve been spending time in my bookbinding studio repairing a family Bible, binding a thesis project, and preparing for a fine binding with a marbled leather cover. I’m also getting ready to teach marbling at Artcïe at the end of February, which I’m very much looking forward to.
And finally, it felt like the right time to add to my crew—two teenage girls, a 14-year-old basset hound mix, one goldfish… and now two kittens. 😊
We adopted them as Linus and Charlie Brown. They’re currently Patchy and Jasper, but we’re thinking about a garden-inspired rename—Aster and Goldenrod (GR for short) are contenders. If you have any clever eco-garden name ideas, I’d love to hear them.
“Naturally, I’ll need my teens’ approval before deciding…”
Thank you for reading!
