ABOUT US

A beautifully landscaped garden creates the intimate opportunity to connect with nature.  We are passionate about providing you with a garden space that will help create sanctuary and joy every day.

​

We customize your space to reflect your needs through a thoughtful process of selecting specific plants, features and elements, with the ultimate mission of supporting how you want to grow with your garden.

​

A sanctuary space in your garden can be for cultivation of happiness, peace and memories... while helping support our wildlife!

​

Our focus is using mostly drought tolerant California natives or climate appropriate plants - especially ones that are also pollinator friendly, medicinal or edible.

​

If you would like to gain some clarity on your garden's potential, schedule a no obligation Garden Design Consultation.

MELISSA AVELAR

Landscape Designer / Business Owner

Melissa, a Humboldt County native, has always had an aptitude for artful design and a love for nature. She enjoys traveling, the outdoors, music, dancing, and cooking flavorful healthy food - it does exist! Building upon her creative background as an Artist, she earned a double-degree in Landscape Architecture and Landscape Design and Construction from Merritt College, in Oakland, CA. 

 

Her interest in plants also encompasses the field of Herbal Medicine, and in 2016 she studied under renowned herbalist, Jane Bothwell. She has found that a balanced and well-designed garden can provide a peaceful place of retreat, as well as helping to support a happy and healthy lifestyle.
