French Traditional
My next project: Total House Remodel
About me: I'm a Californian that gardens as if I'm in New England. Although born in Cali, my family came out here from Boston and I love visiting out there a few times a year; especially New York City, Martha's Vineyard, and Vermont where we vacation as often as possible. Because of this, I like to make my home look very traditional New England by using garden plants & trees that you would see in the North East (if and when possible). Blue hydrangeas, Tulips & daffodils, Flowering Cherry Trees, Lilacs, Peonies, and lots of roses. I'm a rare breed for only being 29 years old :)

We also own Pacific Coast Plants, an interior plant service company.

Antique and English roses are my greatest passion. My partner & I recently potted up everything and bought our first home. We are now on a 1/3 of an acre, which for Orange County is huge! Luckily we're working with a clean slate and designing our garden. My new large "English Rose Garden" is my first big project here in which I doubled my current rose collection.
