Meet Garden Girl
Working closely with clients, architects, and authorities listening to their needs, Garden Girl aims to achieve clarity and accuracy in the finished plan the first time.
The Garden Girl …
Denise Ashley spent a dozen years at Microsoft, managing large software projects. So she’s used to handling different facets of a complex project, and making them all work together. However, it was always gardening and landscaping that fueled her. So, taking advantage of her significant design acumen, she wrote the classic “follow your passion” story and left Microsoft in 2009.
“Many clients worry about first impressions and I always let people know that Garden Girl is a judgment-free zone and all conversations are confidential.”
Garden Girl believes that a designer should create a garden specifically to your tastes and for the lifestyle you have today with an eye toward the future. The garden should feel like home to you and fit within the surrounding landscape and neighborhood. A successful garden will make you smile and want to use it in all four seasons. This is a safe place to express your ideas no matter how creative or mundane and have them realized with the assistance of your experienced professional garden designer.
