Berenice Penfold, owner, Garden Consultant

Your Garden Consultant

Berenice is originally from California, where gardening was part of her childhood in the Napa Valley. She was raised by avid gardeners, and she and all of her siblings have made careers for themselves growing plants and practicing sustainable horticulture. As a lifelong learner, Berenice has taken many college level courses, as well as trainings with the UC Master Gardeners of Sonoma County on horticulture, native plants, and garden design. Berenice is also a self-proclaimed plant nerd, and would choose plant shopping and garden tours, over just about any activity!

 

How can a Garden Consultant help you?

  1. Maybe you are a new or first–time homeowner, and need an unbiased evaluation of your new home’s landscape. I can help you figure out what to keep, what to remove, and how to enhance your landscape with new plantings- personalized to your taste.

  2. Maybe you are a homeowner with an existing landscape that is looking tired and needs an update. I can help you re-imagine the space and help you to create an outdoor oasis that you will be happy to come home to.

  3. Perhaps you are a budding gardener, and want to learn how to care for and maintain your existing landscape. I can give you one-on-one coaching on pruning, watering, and other gardening tasks to give you the confidence you need to care for your garden on your own.

  4. Or maybe you would like to garden more ecologically, or use organic methods, but don’t know how to make that happen. I can help you plan and create an Earth friendly garden that attracts pollinators and other wildlife to your space.
