A Garden Designer describes exactly what I do best – I design gardens to help YOU to enjoy your garden every day!
1. Garden design – whole package from a garden designer. Genuinely.
You dream of a garden where to relax, spent time with your friends and family and maybe grow some herbs or berries full of vitamins. As a garden designer I help you to make your dream a reality and design a garden that you enjoy and that feels like ´home´.
2. Support, ideas and solutions
Maybe you´ve got a lot of ideas, but you have not yet figured out how to put it all together. You need a professional to help you to create an entity, consults in construction and helps choosing the planting. I´m here to help you whterher you need a consultaion visit or a complete garden design.
3. Reliability
I have worked as a garden designer and an entrepreneur in Puksipuu for over 15 years. You might have also read about my ideas and solutions that I have created in garden magazines such as Kotipuutarha and Viherpiha over the years. My passion is garden design and giving you solutions to enjoy your garden more!
