What We Offer

Five ways to bring your garden to life

Consultation

It starts with a conversation — and a walk through your space. We learn how you cook, what you love to eat, and how you envision your outdoor life. From there, we develop a plan as unique as your home.

Design

We create a comprehensive garden plan tailored to your property, your palate, and the Southern California climate. Every detail is considered — from soil composition and sun exposure to the herbs you'll reach for most on a Tuesday evening.

Every garden she designs is deeply personal — shaped by the way you cook, what your family loves to eat, and how you want to live in your outdoor space. Whether it's a compact herb garden or a full backyard transformation, Courtney approaches every project with the same care and creativity.

Based in Newport Beach, she works hands-on with every client from first consultation to final harvest, bringing warmth, knowledge, and a genuine belief that growing your own food is one of life's greatest pleasures.
