Hello,

I'm a vibrant, energetic, passionate, nature lover, creative artist and big advocate of healthy living and living life fully.

Having spent many years in Vancouver BC, I witnessed first hand the noticeable health benefits to individuals who regularly had access to well maintained public and private gardens. Inspired and impassioned I've spent the past 7 years immersed in the study of perennial gardening for our Ottawa, Ontario climate.

As a visual artist with over 20 years of graphic design experience, I am a strong believer that all great design, including garden design, must address basic design principals such as; balance, scale, proportion, unity, focal point, colour, texture, function and harmony. Properly drawing out a plan helps to implement these principals and visualize the design resulting in a garden that looks polished and well thought out, the one you had in mind.

It is always a pleasure to work with people interested in making positive change for themselves as well as those around them whether at a community or global level. From a private backyard oasis to landscaping for health care facilities I am committed to creating soothing, inspiring, beautiful outdoor spaces to grow!

If you have any questions about garden design, curb appeal or healing gardens please don't hesitate to contact me at 613-297-8828 or email nancy@spacestogrow.com
