Meet Dolores

I believe the most memorable gardens feel as though they belong exactly where they are. My approach combines a lifelong love of plants with an understanding of design, horticulture and the unique character of each site.

My professional experience includes leadership roles at the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, Marin Art & Garden Center, and The Garden Conservancy, where I contributed to the stewardship and celebration of remarkable public and private gardens.

As a certified UC Master Gardener, I bring hands-on horticultural knowledge and a commitment to thoughtful, climate-conscious gardening. I work personally with each client to create gardens that reflect their individual style while responding naturally to the setting.

Whether creating an intimate courtyard or reimagining a larger landscape, my goal is the same: a garden that feels personal, beautiful and meant to be lived in.
