    img Personal Picks

    Favorite Plant
    This is not a fair question to ask the plant specialist! Bur Oak, Prairie Dropseed, any Amsonia…should I continue?

    Outdoor Feature
    I love my gas fire pit…with a glass of wine of course.

    Favorite Place
    The Superior Hiking Trail is my absolute favorite place to run. It’s rugged and beautiful and can challenge and reward you like no other run I’ve experienced. It is also the perfect place to witness the resilience of plants.

    For me, a great outdoor space is one you can’t wait to spend time in. My advice to clients is to pick an element they know they are going to fall in love with. It could be a specific grass, a special tree, or an interesting shaped boulder. When you find that element and incorporate it into your space, you’ll find ways to get outside and soak it up.

    I manage our plant program, which includes using my horticultural experience to develop our distinctive voice.  I shape the “Field Plant Palette” by working with our nursery partners to source plants that are reflective of our style and design philosophy.  I oversee our plant procurement for installation projects, and run our annual Kerplantz plant sale.  I also help clients with aftercare questions regarding their landscapes.

    I joined the Field Marketing Team 4 years ago and help with shaping our message to the public (I don’t know what to say about this!)

    img Background & Journey

    I previously worked in Healthcare Administration and after my husband & I bought our first house, I realized how much I loved plants and maybe someone would actually pay me to love plants so I went back to school and got my masters in horticulture.

    • Garden maintenance crew & crew lead
    • I find plants so interesting and love that I can quickly see the fruits of my labor.
    • My mom saw a Field ad in my neighborhood newspaper & said “you should work for them”.  She was right.

    Expertise

    Naturalistic meadow style planting projects.  Knowing how plants work together gives you freedom to play.

    Memorable Projects

    A Standout Moment

    I think my “most memorable” projects are more about the people I’ve worked with over the years.  I’m lucky to work alongside a caring, creative, and fun group of people every day.

    img Outside of Field

    I’m an avid runner and spend many hours each week on the trails around the Twin Cities.   My husband & I are also scuba divers and try to get a couple underwater trips in each year.
