LEAD DESIGNER

Amy Armstrong

Picture of Amy our co-founder and lead landscape designer for portland oregon. She cares about cut flower gardens, backyard garden designs, front yard landscaping, curbappeal, native plant gardens, sustainable landscaping and much more.

Plants have always been at the center of my life. My dad used to walk me around and quiz me on the names of plants. This is still my favorite thing to do (even on solo walks).

I’ve always seen myself as a bit of a collector—of skills, experiences, and creative interests. I believe we’re all the sum of our parts, and the work we do is shaped by everything we’ve picked up along the way. I have a background in floral design, I’ve grown food and flowers, and now I shape gardens. I’m passionate about creating outdoor spaces that feel good to be in. The beauty that surrounds us helps influence our joy, and I hope to help you create that feeling in your own backyard.
