The years of gardening and designing have given me the experience and sensitivity to allow me to create beautiful, meaningful, and very productive gardens that feed people - body and spirit - treating the garden as an essential aspect of living a full and meaningful life.
Hi, I’m Lonna.
My grandpa taught me that plants were a way to connect with each other, to beauty, and to our roots.
I’ve had a connection to plants since I was little and sometimes I dream about the flowers that were in the garden around my house. Their coming and going created a way to track the time of year, and I would commune with them daily.
Now as an adult, I have a deeper connection with plants, especially the edible ones and ones that remind me of my family history. I believe that our wellness comes from our connection to our land, ecosystem, and the soil.
I have 20 years of gardening and design experience …
Which includes container and rooftop gardening and design in NYC, floral and interior plant design in the Bay Area as part-owner of Crimson Horticultural Rarities, and edible garden design, fine gardening/maintenance, and beekeeping as staff designer, gardener, florist and beekeeper at Pine House Edible Gardens. I have also been a part of designing some of the Black Sanctuary Gardens. Now based in the PNW, I am offering integrated ornamental and edible landscape design, interior plant and floral design, and teaching/coaching in the surrounding areas.
Halo Garden Design is a culmination of that experience.
With a focus on integrated edible landscape design with fun things like growing cutting flowers, beekeeping and pollinator gardens mixed in. Also, floral arranging and workshops for individuals or groups.
