Gardens and Plants

Jan’s love for gardening began in her childhood, inspired by her father, a passionate gardener and orchid grower. This early exposure led her to become a respected plant advisor. Alongside her partner Howard, she renovated their first property at 20, and after years of working on homes, they decided to focus solely on garden design, where they could combine their skills in design and horticulture. The process of working with Gardens and Plants begins when a client reaches out online. After an introductory conversation to understand their needs, an in-person consultation is scheduled to discuss the project in more detail. Depending on the client’s goals, this can lead to either a consultation or a full garden design. Every design begins with a precise laser survey, and once the design is finalized, it’s presented online, with adjustments made if necessary. For clients looking for full garden construction, the team also provides project management and construction services. The project culminates with planting, bringing the design to life. Gardens and Plants thrives on collaboration between client and contractor, with each team member contributing their expertise. Howard excels in design, hard landscaping, and project management, while Jan’s strength lies in color, texture, and plant knowledge. Marion adds a fresh creative touch with her technical skills, including 3D design tools. Ultimately, Gardens and Plants is committed to creating beautiful, personalized gardens by listening to clients and delivering exceptional designs. Their trustworthy, collaborative approach sets them apart in the field of garden design and construction.
