Behind the Scenes of My Sustainable Garden Designs
Peek into my process, from selecting healthy plants at the nursery to styling corners that stay green with minimal effort.
A quick video from my balcony where I talk about some of my favorite low-maintenance indoor plants. Part of my service is teaching you how to care for your new green friends so they continue to thrive.
Selecting the best plants is the first step in any project. Here I am at a nursery, choosing from a wide variety of healthy ornamental grasses and foliage plants to find the perfect ones for a client's space.
The right pot is just as important as the plant itself. I source a wide variety of planters, like these classic terracotta pots, in different shapes and sizes to match the style of your home and the needs of the plant.

About Behind the Scenes
Before I bring a single plant to your home, I look at the light and airflow. My process starts at the nursery, where I hand-pick healthy, low-maintenance varieties that will thrive in your specific spot rather than just look good for a week.
My work is about more than just decoration. It is about building a living, breathing part of your home. When I visit a space, I assess the natural light and environmental conditions first. This helps me select plants that are a right fit for your routine, ensuring they stay healthy without constant attention.
I follow a sustainable approach, which means I often incorporate well-draining soil mixes and smart drip systems to reduce water waste. I love mixing different leaf textures and heights to create a jungle feel, even in small apartments. During my nursery visits, I look for quality and resilience, picking plants that have strong root systems.
If you have existing pots, I often integrate them into the new layout, ensuring we reuse what you already own. My goal is to make your space feel like a natural extension of nature, whether it is a small lift lobby or a full balcony garden. Once the setup is complete, I walk you through a care schedule, showing you exactly how to water and maintain your plants so they stay vibrant for a long time.
