Reclaim, Recreate, Rejuvenate
Satisfaction in a garden space involves creative and fun elements, a reflection of the personality of the gardener. Using your imagination, ordinary and re-purposed household items can take on a second life. The garden becomes a relaxing escape where reading a good book in a natural setting, or planting bulbs to add color to your garden, are equally gratifying. This space is a blend of old and new, synthetic and natural. Where water is valued and conserved. A setting that provides a place for both people and animals to co-exist in the harmonious suspension of time and place.

Walden Garden Services focuses on organic maintenance as well as garden consultation, design, and coaching. Gardening without the use of harmful chemicals has always been important to me for the sake of the environment. But recently, since becoming a mom, it is especially important to me to create and maintain gardens with future generations in mind.
