Kelly Grieve is a landscape & garden designer based out of Albion, CA. Her designs blend sense of place with practical needs, while honoring native systems & the ecological health of the site. Kelly has a BA degree in Environmental Conservation & Ecology from Sonoma State University, as well as an AA degree in Landscape Design from Santa Rosa JC. She has worked in plant nurseries, water conservation, forestry and as a gardener doing maintenance and installations - all of which inform her decisions in the design process.
"It is not enough to just ‘love nature’ or to want to ‘be in harmony with Gaia.’ Our relation to the natural world takes place in a place, and it must be grounded in information and experience." Gary Snyder
