Bobbie's Green Thumb has over 30 years of landscape design experience. Our goal is to bring you the joy of a landscape that can be appreciated throughout the entire year. We create beautiful and sustainable designs that fit your lifestyle and enhance your home in every season.

Cold winter months are a time to reflect on the bones of your landscape. When foliage has been stripped away and branches are laid bare, you can assess areas of the garden in need of attention. Are there focal points? Do you need more conifers or broadleaf evergreens for visual interest during the winter? Do you need more vertical elements? Consider structural elements that could add support for existing vegetation, or provide interest when covered with snow. While your garden may be dormant, Bobbie will be busy all winter designing new landscapes for spring installation. Her creativity, innovation and expertise are key for assessing and addressing your gardening concerns. Click here to contact her for a consultation.
