Aesthetic Design
Plants that fit your light, your style, and your space
A room full of thriving plants is designed, not accumulated. I match species to the light you actually have, choose containers that suit your home, and arrange everything so it looks intentional and stays healthy.
Flat $185 house call from Sarasota to Port Charlotte. Two hours, written plan included. Virtual consults from $65.
What a design engagement includes
- A light and space assessment: where plants can genuinely thrive, not just where they would look nice for a month.
- A plant palette chosen for your conditions, your style, and how much care you want to sign up for.
- Container and placement plan: heights, groupings, and pots that work together.
- Sourcing of healthy plants from trusted local growers, vetted before they enter your home.
- Placement and setup, plus a care plan for the finished design.
Design that survives real life
The prettiest arrangement fails if the fern is over an AC vent and the cactus is in the dark. Designing from horticulture first means the finished room still looks like the photo a year later. That is the difference between decorating with plants and designing with them.
How this works, start to finish
-
Start
Find out what is actually going on
Two ways in, same visit and same price. A consultation is the whole collection: every plant identified, assessed, and put on a routine. A health diagnosis is one plant in trouble: what went wrong, and whether it can come back.
-
Treat
The fix gets done
Every visit ends with a written plan, and most of it you can do yourself. When you would rather not, the treatment is the next booking and I do the work: repotting into the right mix and pot size, or a full pest treatment cycle across the collection.
-
Keep
It stays fixed
Routine care is what makes the first two steps hold. Recurring visits handle the watering, feeding, grooming, and a health check every time, whether you are home or away. Canopy adds support between visits; Grove wraps the whole year.
-
Grow you are here
You add to it on purpose
Once the collection is healthy, the fun part: new plants chosen for the light a room really gets, and arranged so they look like they were meant to be there.
You can stop after step one. Plenty of people take the written plan and run with it, and that is a good outcome. Nothing here rolls over into anything else on its own.
Common questions
Do you sell the plants?
No, and that is the point: my recommendations are never biased toward a sale. I build the plant list, source healthy stock from trusted local growers, and you buy directly or have me handle pickup for the cost of the plants plus the visit.
Can you work with the plants I already own?
Absolutely. Most designs start by rehoming what you have into better spots, then filling gaps with a few well-chosen additions. Good design is less about buying more and more about placing well.
What if my home does not get much light?
Every home has a plant palette that will thrive in it, including dim condos and north-facing rooms. The design just starts from your light rather than fighting it.
