Garden Design & Plant Styling
Rooted in Ecology and Intention
Los Angeles, California
From Founder Melissa:
“I have been working with my hands in the soil since I can remember. Born and raised in South Pasadena, I know the native landscape intimately. Its light, its rhythms, its quiet drama. As a garden designer and plant stylist, I create spaces where you love living in beauty, surrounded by nature that feels deeply personal to you.
Gardens should be conversation starters: elegant yet a little wild, intentional without being overworked. They are free to evolve and grow. Always more, never less. Every project begins by listening to the land, the light, the seasons, and you.”
Explore our offerings:
Garden Design for full outdoor transformations, including in-ground planting, custom raised beds, pathways, and California natives, edibles, and pollinators.
Plant Styling for curated porch and interior placements, seasonal plants, and unique Los Angeles-sourced vintage decor.
How We Collaborate
1. Free Phone Call
A relaxed conversation to share your vision and see if we align. No pressure. Just an open dialogue about your space and what excites you.
2. On-Site Walkthrough & Custom Proposal ($150)
This step covers both 60-minute on-site visit at your property followed by a custom proposal. During the session, we walk the land, assess light and soil, and brainstorm ideas that feel right for your life and the landscape. You then get a tailored plan with plant selections, layout, materials, and pricing.
3. Planting and Ongoing Support
We install with care, layering plants that thrive in California ecology. Includes guidance so your garden continues to evolve beautifully season after season.
