Mike's Bio

I view my career as a maintenance garden designer, taking the longer term to create an invigorating natural piece of art.

At the age of 5 my introduction to nature was the scent of our neighbor's Trachelospermum. At 10, I took over primary care of my families suburban plot. My formal education includes a BS in Civil Engineering from UT in Austin, numerous horticulture classes from City College San Francisco, Botanical gardens and plant societies. I have been offering professional maintenance, design and installation services in San Francisco since 2003.

I traveled to England specifically to see their gardens in 2012, 2014, 2015 and currently planning a trip for August 2016. I have visited over 100 public and a few private gardens in England along with numerous nurseries and public spaces. In 2013 I studied The History of English Gardens via an online course through Oxford University.

Since 2014, I have partnered with Frank Eddy of Neo-American Gardens offering bespoke tours of English gardens.
