Russell Stafford, Plantsman

I provide horticultural services tailored to your garden, using plants and techniques that work harmoniously with their environment. A garden can and should be a living, ever-evolving expression of its place — spontaneous AND structured; artful AND playful. It all starts with the right plants, skillfully deployed and maintained (and a gardener with a huge plant repertoire helps too!). Feel free to contact me if you're looking for expert, ecologically informed design and care for your yard. A good place to start is with a phone call about your garden and its possibilities, followed perhaps by a garden walk-around to check out the conditions and to ID the existing plants. Then, if you'd like, I can get to work maintaining or rethinking or revamping your plantings (or assisting and coaching you as you do the same). Specialties include cottage gardens, expert pruning, habitat plantings, urban meadows, bulbs, containers, rare ornamentals, and native plant species. You and your garden will appreciate having an experienced horticulturist, ecologist, and plant nerd on your team. Small properties are welcome, as are plant-loving customers!
