Hi, I’m Daisy!
Daisy Garden is a landscape design and garden maintenance firm based in Sonoma County, California. Blending my passion for art and design with hands-in-dirt horticultural expertise, I strive to create beautiful outdoor spaces that offer a delightful respite from everyday life while caring for our planet and regenerating habitat throughout the Bay Area.
I take pride in working hard to understand my clients’ wants and dreams, and helping them find ways to achieve their vision while respecting the unique qualities and limitations of their landscape.
Daisy Wise (that’s me!)
I received both an A.A. in Landscape Architecture & an A.S. in Landscape Construction from the Merritt College Landscape Horticulture program in Oakland. I also hold a B.S. in Industrial Design from San Francisco State University, during which I spent a year studying design in Milan.
I speak Italian, Mandarin, and Cantonese (and am currently working on my Spanish.) When I’m not at my desk or in the garden, I enjoy baking bread, playing guitar, and listening to Giants games on the radio.
Why Design and Gardening?
This may sound crazy, but I believe that good garden design comes from spending time in gardens — learning what really works and what doesn’t.
As a gardener and a designer, I’m constantly working in gardens months and years after they were designed. I see which plants are really “low maintenance” or “low water” and which are not, because I’m often the one watering and maintaining them. My gardening work directly influences and inspires my designs, and keeps my ideas firmly grounded in the dirt.
Let’s make a garden together.
