I own an independent garden center and plant nursery. Our focus is residential and commercial landscape design and aesthetic improvement. We create highly functional landscape designs specifically based on client needs and requests, using only local products specifically suited for the geographic area. Our retail store focuses primarily on exemplary and individualized customer service. My extensive and versatile background as a chef and a building contractor gives me more insight on food implementation in gardens, and functionality in protecting property investment. In a structural sense, plant placement is done regarding proximity to underground and overhead utilities, foundations, and traffic areas. Aesthetic concerns are benefited by practical designs to enhance curb appeal, and overall property appearance.I also freelance as a chef, catering private parties and events.
