My name is Emma, and I invite you to learn with me!
I see landscape design as an opportunity to nurture healthy community and our connection to nature, as well as the pivot around which to build personal vision and objective needs. It’s no menial task to make practical steps towards a more-sustainable future, and my goal is to empower everyone to start today.

Cooperation and continued training through local Chesapeake Bay-conservation groups, the Watershed Stewards Academy, and a lifelong passion for plants helped me find my niche in the contracting world beginning in 2020. Concerning global events testing our real reliance on local communities of businesses, individuals, and activists to support one-another, confirmed there would never be a better time to start planting the seeds of resilience and native trees!

I strive to provide a roadmap for rebalancing the valuable resources in our landscapes and support in making long-lasting transformations towards conservation through attainable gardening practices.

I seek to provide both a personal and professional service, stemming from an intrinsic love of nature, and altruistic determination to bring more beauty, balance, and biodiversity into the world around me.

Thank you for choosing Earthstar Gardening!
