Julia Bailey, Landscape Designer

I have a deep appreciation for the unique environment found in Western North Carolina. Becoming familiar with the plants that thrive here and are hardy enough to survive the winter has been a major focus of the past decade of my career in landscaping. I love being outside and creating landscapes that not only showcase a diverse array of plants but also provide enjoyment for people and habitat for wildlife. Each plant serves a purpose and has an effect on the environment you place it in. I view landscaping as more than just colorful flowers; it is a way to breathe life into our surroundings.
