Flying South in 2015

Dear Clients and Colleagues,

It's bittersweet to announce that I am moving my business to San Diego in the new year. Although this is by no means goodbye- I will be back in Santa Cruz for quarterly visits- and those clients who wish to schedule any services on that basis, I will happily make myself available. I plan to wrap up all existing projects and will continue checking in on the garden spaces I've created with so many of you and, as always, am available via phone and email for miscellaneous questions, advice and recommendations.

As some of you may know, San Diego and I are not strangers. I have family in San Diego and have been bouncing back and forth for the past 15+ years. I've been able to work on several projects in San Diego and see a big demand for more ecological landscape designers- and horticultural professionals, in general. As a huge advocate for removing front lawns, San Diego has an endless supply which many are finally going brown! Between family and new opportunities in a larger pool, I embark on this journey and next chapter of my career and life.

I'm excited to sink my roots into the community and professional world of San Diego and am thrilled to have already been received warmly and enthusiastically by colleagues thus far. I'm jumping in with the same multiple services from design to consulting to fine gardening + coaching. I look forward to collaborating with talented professionals (and clients) in creating some great new spaces.

I am so grateful for the success, support and relationships I've have the pleasure to build in Santa Cruz. I have personally given my regular clients names of a few highly recommended friends and colleagues to potentially take over and dovetail services and am available for a final walk-through / torch passing. Any other clients are welcome to contact me directly for recommendations. Once more, I'd like to give a big wholehearted thanks to all of you for making it happen- and again, let it be known, this is not goodbye. I will be back for the redwoods, wine tasting, mushroom hunting and cool misty mornings!

Sincerely,
Andrea (and Guinness)
