Pax Garden Design creates beautiful, natural gardens for homeowners in Central Maryland. I offer talks and workshops to help homeowners design their own gardens, as well as custom design service.
Perhaps your yard could use a little help. But… who do you turn to?
Maybe you don’t want it to look like all those other suburban lots. You want something more natural. Something that will feel inviting. Even inspiring.
Your home may be in a rural area, rich with its own natural beauty, and you want the landscape to feel connected—a graceful extension of the natural beauty of the location.
Perhaps you’d prefer not to do so much mowing and maintenance. And you’d just as soon quit the pesticides and fertilizers, as well. But you wonder, is it possible? What would happen? Will the yard be a pleasant place to spend time?
For the past six years, I’ve immersed myself in learning about native plants and conservation landscaping. I’ve taught classes on gardening with native plants. I’ve designed inspiring gardens in many different styles for clients, as well as given tours of native gardens.
“Today I sat for a long time on the bench in the garden… I realize that you have been creating a real sacred space within the environment, and one that opens up the more you look at it. The way it blends so naturally with the surroundings… The garden is exquisite, and a source of great joy, so many many thanks for all that you are doing.”—DS
My hope is that you will find inspiration at this website—the inspiration to create a beautiful, natural garden at your own home.
