Plant Goddess Landscaping

We were looking for a Landscape Professional that understood native plants, bee and hummingbird sanctuaries and could create a lush, low-water, but still beautiful garden. Saw Plant Goddess project at another home, and was thrilled to find her both highly knowledgeable and creative, and also a great collaborator and respectful of our requests. The yard, including front, back, side yards as well as retaining walls had all burned in the fire, but now we welcome pollinators and enjoy a renewed and delightful view from all angles.

I worked closely with Plant Goddess on two projects in 2025: one, for a 53-unit condo complex in Pasadena CA where I am on the association's board and own a condo. Plant Goddess consulted with our board about our plans to replace traditional landscaping with a new low-water design, then presented the board with options and answered questions at a Zoom meeting of the board. New plants, soil, mulch and irrigation were installed exactly on the timeline hoped for, at very reasonable cost. The outcome is gorgeous, it pleased everyone, and many HOA members commented on how communicative, knowledgeable and reliable this company was. The second project was a redesign and installation of a new concept for the rear yard of a residential property my family owns in Southern Santa Barbara County near the coast. Plant Goddess came up with a new design that changed the soil elevation of the previously flat yard, planted new trees, succulents and shrubs that work with our marine climate and would require no irrigation system. Kelley, owner of this firm, is very communicative, a good listener, and has deep knowledge of plant species. She created a burbling fountain from a natural boulder, and persuaded us to install lights that create beautiful effects and shadows at night. Our yard is abuzz with butterflies, bees and birds. Highly recommend this company.

I’ve worked with Kelley Hanna and her Plant Goddess Landscaping team over the past year on the landscaping of my 1913 historic home in the Sierra Madre Canyon. Of all the professionals I‘ve hired for my property, Kelley stands out as the only one who consistently over-delivers and exceeds expectations. I trust her recommendations fully and value her experience and judgment. What sets Kelley apart is her ability to creatively solve site challenges by integrating my home’s existing hardscaping and plants into a cohesive, functional design. She turned problematic features into assets, preserving the property’s character while improving its usability. Her commitment to sustainability is clear through her emphasis on native, drought-tolerant plants, permeable surfaces, efficient irrigation, and lighting designed to balance ambiance and safety, resulting in a low-maintenance, low-water landscape that enhances both privacy and function. Our yard is now a well-integrated space we enjoy daily. The entire process was professional and efficient. Kelley is calm, responsive, creative, and knowledgeable. The result exceeded my expectations and brought new life to a space I’d not anticipated loving so much.
