Personal, friendly, and creative garden design, tailored to your needs.
Designing throughout the twin cities in minnesota.
Hi, Lorie here. I am an organic gardener and designer. The colors, scents, textures and pollinators of my garden remind me that I can feel awe, wonder, and delight every single day - even on days when the world feels bonkers. I am so grateful for that.
I like working with nice people who like to get their hands dirty - fellow gardeners and gardener-wannabes. By focusing solely on design, I bring expertise in layout, plant selection, soil conditions, and long-term maintenance considerations. I can create a cohesive design that maximizes space, ensures sustainability, and reduces costly mistakes.
We might work together simply for an hour consultation, or a complete garden design with hardscaping, irrigation, and lighting. I can advise you how to DIY with intention, as well as connect you with experienced landscape contractors who can install our plan.
How can I help you?
A one-to-one, focused meeting about your garden, in your garden! An hour of expert advice, ideas, suggestions, and support. Great for those needing a place to start, or an ideal gift for the garden lover in your life.

I’m a visual artist who sells poster and fine art prints of my work. I thrill to play with angles, lines, shadows, and macro compositions, because playing with perspective can show us stories we didn’t see at first. I value wrangling stories and perspectives, because this invites people to consider new ideas about their choices.
I’m a polymath who is wired to see the potential to create something from nothing. Heeding my muse, I’ve made art, stories, websites, indie films, multi-platform IPs, organic gardens, and killer iced mochas.
I see my Life as an epic story, and I'm the Hero of it. I’m also the Author, and I know that my Wants fuel my choices and actions - the momentum of my soul's evolution - so I do my best to be intentional with them. My hope is to inspire others to make their own choices with compassion, intention, and purpose.
