Bees, butterflies, spiders, and worms all make Heather happy! A long-time gardener and nature lover, Heather is often found outside observing the world around her. These two passions are combined in the ecologically sustainable gardens she designs to attract as many native critters as possible — even skunks are welcome to travel through her yard (as long as they don’t take up residence).
