My Story
My story begins in France, where elegance is not an accessory, it is a way of life. Living there for almost ten years, I was immersed in a world where design, architecture and nature are treated with equal reverence. From the grand châteaux tucked into the countryside to the villas along the coast from Saint Tropez to Monaco, I saw how thoughtfully chosen planting and planters quietly elevated every property. Nothing was accidental. Every bed, every planter, every placement told a story of restraint, balance and quiet confidence.
What struck me most was the simplicity behind the luxury. The beauty was never loud, it was timeless. Statement planters framed entrances, softened stone terraces and brought warmth to expansive outdoor spaces. Interiors flowed into exteriors, with greenery used as an architectural element rather than decoration. These homes felt finished, polished and alive.
Today I bring that same European eye to Southwest Florida as The Plant Lady, translating the elegance of the South of France into landscape design that works beautifully in our climate. That sensibility shapes everything I do, from a full residential landscape design to the luxury planters and statement pieces that finish a space. As a Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ certified professional and a member of the FNGLA, the Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association, I pair that design eye with a real understanding of what thrives in Florida heat, sun and seasonal rain.
I work directly with homeowners across Naples and Southwest Florida, designing, installing and caring for outdoor spaces with a level of attention usually reserved for private estates. Whether your home is a comfortable family property or a luxury residence, I would love to help it feel finished, welcoming and truly yours. - Ann
