Laura Essex, Designer, Owner
Hi there. I’ll be your designer, encourager, and chief idea-bringer, setting your dreams of a nature-friendly garden in motion. My love of gardening started at a young age, potting up marigolds and petunias with my mom every May. Later, I earned my degree in biology (with an ecology focus) and my love of flowers and nature has only grown over the years while working in the medical research field. It finally reached the point where I found myself thinking about some aspect of gardening, butterflies, or birds every SINGLE day. I am so excited to help you bring a bit more beauty and nature to your own space. The fact that you’ve made it as far as finding this website shows you already have all that it takes to get a beautiful garden; the desire for nature and beauty out your window.
