Horticultural depth
Plants are selected for the site they will actually inhabit: light, soil, water, mature scale, and long-term care realities.
Founder and lead designer
Pat brings deep horticultural knowledge to residential garden design.
Pat is a horticulturist with more than 20 years of experience and a lifelong passion for gardening. Before founding A Garden Space, she served as Director at the Matthei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor, Director of Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, and Director of Urban Beautification in Toledo.
Her design approach is rooted in plant knowledge, regional conditions, and the belief that a garden should uplift the soul while adding beauty and character to the home.
Composed beauty
Color, texture, structure, and sequence are considered together so the garden feels intentional across seasons.
Practical plans
Design documents are built to help homeowners and contractors make clear decisions.
