Regenerative Gardening Practices to Create and Maintain Native Garden (Denver, CO)

As a professional and certified Regenerative Gardener, certified Soil Advocate, and certified Master Composter, I believe healthy gardens and landscapes begin with rebuilding the soil using mostly native plant species. Supporting ecosystem biodiversity and protecting pollinators, without using chemical pesticides or fertilizers, is the foundation of my practice. The quality and vitality of our landscape is a direct reflection of healthy soil and intentional care. My journey in gardening began more than twenty years ago with my own garden. Over the years I’ve refined my gardening and design experience to evolve with a changing ecological awareness. As a lifelong Coloradan, I have a keen understanding of our unique environment. My priority is protecting our precious ecosystem from the ground up one garden at a time. Inviting resiliency into our urban and suburban landscapes is essential to balancing our expanding land development and resource losses. I’m passionate about helping clients discover the beauty and importance of regenerative gardening practices while working with holistic concepts to create their vision of a space they want to be in and grow in.

Santa Fe Iris Society Show (Santa Fe, NM)

Showing iris in our area is always a gamble, but our society covers such a large area that we can generally have a good show anyway (except for the 1996 show, which didn’t happen due to horrendous drought conditions). The best part about a show (aside from getting to spend a day with all out iris friends) is that if we can put on a very nice show with artisan design arrangements even if unexpected cold weather occur. The Santa Fe lris Society has been innovative, humorous and sentimental with the themes of our shows.
