Learn Do Thrive

About the Designer

Growing up in Hungary, I enjoyed fresh fruit and vegetables from our family garden. Traveling and hiking through Europe introduced me to varied landscapes and gardening styles.

After becoming an Ecologist in Hungary, I earned Master Degree in Molecular Biology in the US. As a landscape designer, I draw on my science education and take inspiration from natural landscapes.  I have designed and maintained gardens for 15 years in 3 different countries, while keeping nature and wildlife in mind. I discourage planting invasives and promote the use of native plants and sustainable landscape practices.

A beautiful garden is within everyone’s reach. It takes some effort, time and money, but most importantly it takes knowledge of plants and proper techniques. Let me create a garden you’ve never thought you could have.  

I am looking forward to working with you.
