Specializing in residential landscapes, Q-Gardens has been creating garden designs for over 30 years.
Maryanne received her BS in Ornamental Horticulture from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Her experience includes both the retail nursery industry as well as landscape design and construction. She spent several years prior to starting her own design firm designing for a landscape contractor design and build firm, which gave her first hand experience with garden installation.
Maryanne is proud to be a Certified Member and Fellow of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD®), an international organization whose purpose is to provide a forum for the advancement of the profession of landscape design. As a Certified Member, Maryanne is required to uphold the standards of practice prescribed by the APLD as well as complete at least 30 hours of continuing education in each three-year period. She is also a Certified Advanced Santa Clara Valley Green Gardener, and a graduate of the G3 EPA WaterSense approved Watershed Wise Landscape Professional training.
A key portion of Maryanne's design process is centered around the incorporation of her clients' visions of their gardens. She listens to their desires to create workable design solutions. By using this process, Maryanne is able to create a garden that is comfortable for each client. Whether the client is an active gardener or a passive one, Maryanne believes that the living space should not stop at the door of the home, but should extend into the surrounding garden. She strives to create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, drawing the client out to enjoy the garden that they helped create to fit their lifestyle.
