I design Xeriscape & Permaculture landscapes for property owners, diy-ers, and organizations.
Why Growing Inspired?
Save water with Xeriscape and Permaculture design. I design systems that can catch and store water, cut utility bills and moderate the hydration of your land.
A specialist in low-water, edible and Indigenous plants. Plants are selected to suit both your space and tastes, while feeding pollinators and providing benefits such as natural pest control, food and medicine.
I care about your values, goals and property needs. Designing your landscape is a collaborative process and I stand behind my work.
Regenerative Landscape Design
A well thought-out design plan will save you time, money and maintenance in the short and long term while providing food, beauty and more abundance every year.

Project Management
From ordering plants and materials, communicating with installers, and scheduling work flow, there is much to coordinate when planning a landscape installation. I can help you with that.
Speaking Engagements & Workshops
Since 2009 I’ve had the pleasure of teaching classes, leading workshops and speaking about gardening at numerous events for students and the public.
How the Design Process Works
1. Free Phone Consultation
We talk about your vision, goals, and landscape needs. I answer your questions, and we make sure my business is a good fit for your project.
2. Site Assessment & Consultation
We discuss the project in more detail including your values and likes and dislikes. I assess the soil quality, take measurements, and survey the topography where required.
3. Concept Design
Together, we review the concept design, which includes several options for layout and plants. I then take your feedback and refine the design.
4. Final Design Plan & Followup
We review the final design plan — a scaled plan that can be easily interpreted and implemented by yourself or a contractor. We schedule a follow-up meeting to ensure that you are happy and to exchange feedback.Featured Projects
Each project I undertake is a labour of love and unique to the land and clients I work with. I value diverse landscapes and ensure that every design contributes to both your and the planet's health.
