The people

Meet the team

Every client works with the same people from the first conversation to the last visit. No handoffs, no strangers showing up at your door.

Sofia Reyes, Garden Designer

Sofia Reyes

Garden Designer & Co-founder

She's been designing residential gardens in the Bay Area for years and still gets excited about a good native planting plan. Her obsession is finding the right plant for a tricky spot — the dry shade under an oak, the windy west-facing corner — instead of forcing something that won't make it.

Maren Kim, Head of Maintenance

Maren Kim

Head of Maintenance & Co-founder

She runs all the ongoing care work and builds every maintenance plan from scratch — no templates. She has a horticulture background and a strong opinion about soil health. She'll tell you what's wrong with your garden before you even ask.

Cass Nguyen, Lead Installer

Cass Nguyen

Lead Installer

She handles all our installs and brings an eye for the kind of detail that's invisible when it's done right. If something looks slightly off, she'll notice it. She's been with us since the beginning and we couldn't do this without her.

How we work

How we actually work

We stay small on purpose

We've turned down growth opportunities that would've meant sending strangers to our clients' homes. That's not something we're willing to do. Small means we know every garden we're responsible for.

Bay Area plants for Bay Area conditions

We don't import ideas from wetter climates. We work with California natives and drought-adapted plants that actually thrive here — through summer dry spells, coastal fog, and years-long droughts.

We'll be honest with you

If a plant won't work in your space, we'll tell you. If your soil needs work before anything else happens, we'll say so. We'd rather give you the truth than take your money for something that won't last.

We'd love to see your space.

We take on a limited number of new clients each season — reach out early and we'll set up a free walk-through.
