Rooted in Sustainable Gardening for Wilmington, NC

Cape Fear Plant Pro began with a simple belief: everyone can have a beautiful, thriving garden when they understand how to work with nature, not against it. Based in Wilmington, North Carolina, our focus is on sustainable, practical gardening that fits our coastal climate.

I believe gardening should bring joy and connection — not confusion or frustration. That’s why I  founded Cape Fear Plant Pro to guide homeowners, new gardeners, and plant enthusiasts toward healthier, more resilient landscapes. Every session, consultation, and design I provide is tailored to your specific space, goals, and comfort level. Whether you want to identify plant issues, learn how to prune a prized Japanese maple, or create a pollinator-friendly space, you receive experienced advice that’s easy to understand and apply.

My philosophy is built on teaching, not selling. I empower you with knowledge so you can make smart choices about your plants, soil, and garden design. The result is a sustainable landscape that thrives naturally and continues to improve over time.

Our Mission and Core Values

Our mission is to help homeowners and gardeners in the Cape Fear region cultivate healthy, sustainable gardens through education, hands-on support, and science-based guidance.

Our core values:

Why Choose a Garden Consultant Instead of a Traditional Landscaper

Many homeowners assume they need a landscaping company to fix garden issues, but often they just need knowledgeable guidance. A garden consultant helps you understand your space before you invest in plants or materials. This saves money, prevents common mistakes, and builds long-term success.

Here’s what makes Cape Fear Plant Pro unique:

Education-first approach

You learn practical skills that last a lifetime.

Personalized plans

I tailor advice to your soil, sunlight, and style preferences.

Eco-friendly focus

Every solution supports pollinators, wildlife, and soil health.

Hands-on mentoring

I work beside you to demonstrate techniques for planting, pruning, and maintenance.

Local expertise

Decades of experience in Wilmington’s microclimates inform every recommendation.

With this collaborative model, you gain the confidence to make smart gardening decisions year-round.

How I Serve the Cape Fear Community

Our services extend beyond individual consultations. Cape Fear Plant Pro participates in community education and promotes awareness about native gardening and pollinator conservation.

From small yards to larger residential landscapes, I help transform outdoor spaces into thriving ecosystems. I also encourage sustainable practices such as composting, water conservation, and integrated pest management to protect the region’s natural beauty.

Our coaching and consulting services are available throughout Wilmington, NC, and surrounding areas. I also provide virtual support for plant identification and diagnostic consultations for clients who live outside the immediate service area.
