About Golden Love

First off, thank you! Love’s Gardens got its start in 2003, and is now a robust consulting company simplifying the lives and beautifying the gardens of Santa Cruz and beyond. Business is good and I have you, my neighbors, to thank for that.

At 6 years old I began pulling my neighbor’s weeds. Over 6 decades later, I’m still playing in the dirt, but today I bring more than just enthusiasm.

I am a…

… trained horticulturalist
… certified and consulting arborist
… licensed landscape contractor
… permaculture designer
… community college instructor
… avid gardener!

For almost 30 years I owned a successful business that designed, built and maintained landscapes for businesses from San Francisco to Monterey. Today my intention is to share those three decades of experience and horticultural expertise with you, my neighbors.

In the midst of climate change and drought, I’m especially excited about helping you maintain the vibrancy of your garden in environmentally sustainable and cost-effective methods. That’s why Love’s Gardens and our team of partners specialize in rainwater harvesting, greywater, drought tolerant gardens, and edible landscaping.

If you can’t tell, I love gardening. I love making people happy. I would consider it an honor to help you manifest a garden that puts a smile on your face.

In Gratitude,

Golden Love
