Karen's favorite landscapes blend California native, meadow-inspired, and Mediterranean garden styles to create beautiful, water-wise outdoor spaces. She enjoys designing gardens that balance vibrant color, seasonal interest, and drought-tolerant plants while creating welcoming habitats where people and local wildlife can thrive together.

Karen loves incorporating Agastache, Cuphea 'Honeybells,' White Sage, Buckwheat, and Narrowleaf Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis) into her landscape designs to create thriving pollinator habitats. White Sage provides year-round beauty with its silvery foliage, attracts bees and hummingbirds with its striking blooms, and later produces seeds enjoyed by goldfinches. Together, these plants help support butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other beneficial wildlife throughout the seasons.
