Befriend the Earth

Ecological Landscape Design & Sustainable Food Systems

We empower and inspire you to cultivate sustainable landscapes and grow your own food through ecological design and native plant strategies—because friendship with the earth is our most profound connection!

One of the most transformative actions you can take is creating a landscape that nourishes both people and ecosystems. Just as a true best friend supports and nurtures, we approach landscape design as a relationship of mutual care and understanding. With 15 years of growing and education experience, I bring a holistic approach to designing landscapes that are productive, beautiful, and ecologically sound.

Whether you have a small urban garden or a larger property, I can help you develop a landscape that supports local biodiversity, produces fresh food, and creates a thriving ecosystem. This is more than design—it's about befriending the land, listening to its needs, and growing together.

Why Trust Plant Bestie?

With 15 years of hands-on growing experience, a Master's degree in Sustainability and Ecology(2026), and a deep passion for ecological design, I bring a unique blend of practical knowledge and scientific understanding to every landscape. From small urban gardens to diverse farming environments, I've learned the intricate dance of working with nature—not just growing plants, but cultivating entire ecosystems that thrive.

My approach goes beyond traditional gardening. It's about creating living landscapes that support local biodiversity, produce food, and tell a story of interconnection between humans and the natural world.
