Stewardship & Maintenance
Garden maintenance, viewed as stewardship of the land, goes beyond the routine tasks of weeding and pruning—it represents our commitment to nurturing habitat. This stewardship involves soil health, pest management, proper plant care, water management, reducing unnecessary waste and creating a habitat that encourages biodiversity. Properly tending to the garden not only ensures its immediate aesthetic appeal but also contributes to the long-term health and sustainability of the land. As a trained horticulturist I possess the knowledge needed to nurture and maintain gardens for optimal health of the garden and the land. As an all-around lover of plants, this steward takes pride in adopting a holistic approach to garden maintenance.
