Tigerlily Landscape Design

Very proud of this little garden in Hollister, 3 years in, needs very little water now and brings in lots of pollinators and other wildlife. Unfortunately the "gardeners" removed all the poppies, so my pops of color are missing, but the muted purple, silver, and yellow colors the client wanted still shine. Check out the little fox in the birdbath in the last slide!

Business update: As many of you may know, I was recently hurt in a car accident, rear-ended by a drunk driver at high speed. Grateful to be alive, I am unfortunately severely injured, with 4 herniated and ruptured disks in my spine, and probably permanently in pain. This severely curtails my ability to continue landscaping or even sitting or standing for long hours at a computer to do design work. I can, however, continue to provide consulting and garden coaching services to homeowners who need advice, especially as a first step before hiring a landscape contractor. I have been a landscape designer for over 20 years and have a wealth of knowledge and experience still to offer. Feel free to give me a call with any garden-related queries you may have!

I went there! Got my landscape design degree there, an A.S. in Environmental Horticulture. I was told it was the best horticulture school in the state back then, 20 years ago, and it truly was a great program with some of the best teachers I ever had.

The schools were assessed through a ranking system that took into account retention rates, student-to-faculty ratios, tuition and fees using publicly available data from 2022-23.
