Native Design Queen & Grow Native Certified Professional

I've been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember. The value in seeing my client's ideas come to life and the relationships that come with that drove me to create Pollen to Petal. A lot of folks just want to be heard! I find that dialog doesn't always exist in landscape design. My education in agriculture and soil science allows me to help our clients see the potential in their property. As a Grow Native Certified Pro, if you've got ideas, I've got answers!

My hobbies are as diverse as my background. You can find me in the garage teaching Drew how to work on our '66 Beetle, Lydia, organizing our tool collection for the 100th time, volunteering in the community, and carrying around my seed harvesting bags to weird places (just in case!). My favorite spot…. covered in cats, sitting next to my Border Collie, reading the latest book release written by my best friend, Paulette Kennedy!
