Garden “Coming home to my gardens is a bit like heaven….I think. Cassandra applies a great creative eye with a practical pragmatic approach to maintenance.” — Marty Willis Design / Install / Maintain I’m a habitat style garden designer with a naturalistic approach to a property. Finding the opportunities that connect people to ‘their’ outdoors is my job. My goal is an effortless beauty in tandem with multiple plant resources that support the wildlife in any given month. With this ecological point-of-view front and center I create plant communities that support each other and the area’s wildlife. This hands on process of layering plants over time creates an effective and visually transportive four seasons garden.
