Starting with a B.A. from UCCS, she then earned a Master Gardener Certificate from El Paso County in Colorado.

She has a passion for nature and abides by the industry's "Best Management Practices" by honoring existing habitat and thoughtfully enhancing it.

Debbie finds inspiration in creating designs for clients. She oversees the installation of projects and provides clients with scheduled maintenance. Personal connection and communication is important to Debbie, and she attributes this to the success of projects. Her designs frequently implement authentic handmade Italian pots which are available for purchase on this website. In addition to managing Deb's Gardening, Debbie is dedicated to sharing her gardening expertise with her community via volunteer projects. She enjoys mountain biking, hiking, and dedication to our natural environment and its ability to nurture and create healthy community.
