About Us
I am a Master Gardener and own a container gardening business called Contained Beauty. My outdoor containers consist of annual and perennial flowers, edible ornamentals, tropicals and succulents. And outdoor containers aren't just for the summer -- I create all-season containers that will get you through even the dreariest of months. In addition to outside gardens, I make indoor fairy gardens and terrariums.

Kim created three beautiful big pots for me this summer. They were colorful and sized perfectly. They have absolutely made my front porch and back patio. I’m so happy with Kim and highly recommend her.

Since I do not have a green thumb, I have found that using pots is the easiest way to maintain a beautiful yard. After many years with another design company, it was time for a change. I have 17 large pots and it is a massive undertaking. After one visit to my home, Kim began sending me ideas with pictures of the plants/flowers she was proposing. She was very patient with me as I continued to give her my opinions of my likes and dislikes. After agreeing on a plan, she was able to implement it with ease and I think my yard looks spectacular. She is creative, knowledgeable, and made the process very easy for me. Kim came in right on budget which is much appreciated. I am so impressed and absolutely thrilled with the result so I plan to stick with her in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs design and installation help with pot design. She's a very nice person and is determined to give her customers what they need and want. I'm lucky to have found her.

After much searching, I was finally able to find the right person to accomplish my goal of having unusual, lush and seasonal container display for my front porch! After contacting Kim, she returned my call promptly and within 10 days had determined what it was I was seeking, designed the containers and had them delivered.
I couldn't have been more pleased.

Thank you, Denise! I always look forward to beautifying your landscape!
I couldn't be more happy with the planters Kim designed for our home over the past year! Initially she suggested sizes and types of planters for our front porch and back patio which would compliment our existing landscape and outdoor furniture. I was also included in the design plan (type of plants, colors, decorative accents, etc.). We were looking for low maintenance arrangements which is exactly what we got - they were easy to care for and looked great throughout each season! Kim's designs are unique and she uses a wide variety of foliage. I always look forward to seeing what she will create for our home from season to season!

Kim is very creative, professional, and fun to work with! On several occasions I've asked her to come up with last minute gifts for co-workers and Kim came through with unique gifts that continue to brighten office spaces!

Kim does a fabulous job with all kinds of flowers and pots. She is easy to work with (sends ideas via email and doesn't need you to be there when she is doing her work), uses great plants and flowers, and has a great eye for design. My pots looked great all summer and into the fall. Kim then replaced them with holiday greenery which was perfect for the holiday season. We can't be happier with having her help us with plantings!

Kim recently did a presentation on container gardening for the Ladue Garden Club of which I am a new member. Her knowledge of plants allows her to create beautiful color and textural combinations that would compliment any home. I look forward to recommending her to my interior design clients.

Kim recently completed a container gardening project for me which involved my upper deck and patio. She did a phenomenal job. She utilized colorful flowers and plants and creatively designed a beautiful piece of work in twelve containers. It made both areas come alive for the spring! She was always on time, projected a professional demeanor and was a pleasure to work with.

Kim planted 11 outside containers for our yard. She came over to the house to check out what type of light each planter received and then asked what type of look I wanted or if I had any plants in mind. She then sent a proposal with pictures for approval. Once approved, she came back over with the plants and planted all the containers. They were beautiful when she planted them and they still are 10 weeks later! She was very easy and enjoyable to work with! The price was very reasonable and she even came in under her quote!

My winter decorations were gorgeous. They looked festive, but still natural. And the price was quite reasonable - especially since they lasted from November through February!
