About Me

Hello! Thanks for checking out my website!

I have been a gardener for almost all of my life; right from starting tomato plant seedlings as a wee toddler, and through my teenage and adult life, growing things in pots or in the ground and watching in wonder and delight as they grew and blossomed. Throughout my college years where I minored in botany and developed a keener knowledge of plants, I supplemented my enthusiasm for plants by visiting gardens both local and global. Now that I have a garden of my own, I delight in each season where I can plan new areas or try out new plants to test in my zone. I am a continuous learner and have several horticultural credits under my belt, I am also certified in dry garden landscape design. My passion is to garden with plants that use less water to grow, but attract birds and bees, thereby improving our environment.

I hope to bring this same enthusiasm into your garden space with you. Call me at 707-892-0851 so we can plan your dream garden!

Sarita's Dry Garden Consulting Philosophy

What are the advantages of employing a garden consultant?

Consulting with a garden designer should be the first step in your garden planning process to help you find focus and direction in your garden.

A garden consultant will advise you on designing your plantings so that they look like they were placed there intentionally to complement your garden style.

Garden consultants advise on plant selections that will work in your zone, so that your plants have a better opportunity to adapt. I will help you choose plants that will thrive in your specific microclimate around your home.

Do you need help with potted plants? Virtual appointments are available for tips and advice on your specific needs.

I can help you design a space that looks lush without using copious amounts of water for irrigation.
