About Gardens by Eliza

Hello!

Plants have the power to completely transform a space. A thoughtfully designed landscape can enhance your home's character, create a more welcoming environment, and become a place you'll enjoy spending time in for years to come.

I believe the most successful landscapes and gardens do more than add curb appeal. By choosing the right plants for the right place and designing with Florida's climate in mind, we can create outdoor spaces that are beautiful, resilient, and supportive of the surrounding ecosystem. When a landscape feels alive, people naturally spend more time in it, care for it, and develop a deeper connection to the place they call home.

Hi, I’m Eliza. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science & Policy from the University of South Florida, where I developed a strong foundation in ecology, conservation, and sustainable land management. I spent several years working at a plant nursery, gaining experience with an incredible diversity of landscape plants and learning what truly thrives in Florida's conditions. I also work with a local nonprofit urban farm and education center, where I continue to explore the connections between people, food, and the landscapes we share.

These experiences and my love for plants and nature have shaped the way I approach every project. My designs combine creativity, horticultural knowledge, and ecological principles to create landscapes that are beautiful, enduring, and uniquely suited to each property. Whether you're looking for a welcoming front yard, a peaceful backyard retreat, a productive vegetable garden, or a complete landscape transformation, my goal is to create a space you'll love living in.
