Being a stay home mom she and her shovels slowly created large beds. And she proved you don\u2019t need a lot of money but willpower and muscle to create beautiful spaces. And time.<\/span>
Years later once she had more time, she decided to alter her volunteering habits from her child\u2019s school to the Prince William County Master Gardener program.<\/span>
While continuing to volunteer she started working at a garden center in 2016 in the Tropical greenhouse where she learned all about tropical house plants. She started at the same time as her coworker now, Gretchen and they made an amazing team.<\/span>
She has an expansive collection of house plants as well as her outdoor gardens. Her focus is to provide habitat for insects, birds and other wildlife trying to keep with mostly natives. Keeping a balance of predatory insects to handle pests versus using chemical solutions.<\/span><\/p>\nClients Love Our Work!<\/span><\/h2>\n
